Nic was a fabulous host for the cruise, going above and beyond to make sure we saw some whales on the day, and Jill was so lovely to our son who was initially quite nervous being out on the boat for the first time, thank you for such a great experience!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent experience! We had such a wonderful experience on the whale-watching cruise yesterday. The crew members were friendly, helpful and welcoming, and the whole experience was very well organised and family-friendly. The kids loved the little drawing books they received just before getting off the boat — such a thoughtful touch! It was also great to have a clean and practical toilet on board. Everyone in our family had a fantastic time. Highly recommend! 🐋💙

The knowledge of our friendly captain and the whales themselves! The day was magical and was a perfect way for our whaanau group to share an experience. We had age 1-80ish out for the day.

It's a beautiful boat with a very knowledgeable skipper and crew . We saw multiple pods of whales up close which was really amazing Also on returning the skipper extended our tour to visit some dolphins and minky whales. We would thoroughly recommend this company and we would surely return for another trip. Cheers Brendan and Carolyn Angwin

Soar above the Gold Coast at sunrise, then cruise alongside whales in the Pacific. Two unforgettable nature experiences in one day—with transfers and free photos included.

Getting started

Your combo ticket includes a 60-minute hot air balloon flight with round-trip transfers and a separate 2.5-hour whale watching cruise. Arrive on time at each meeting point, and show your ticket upon check-in.

What to expect

Gold Coast Hot Air Balloon

Start with sunrise: Begin your morning with a magical 60-minute flight as you drift over the Gold Coast. Watch the sun rise across rolling hills, golden beaches, and sparkling waterways—all from the sky.

Everything’s included: Relax with pick-up and drop-off, and capture the moment with a complimentary digital photo package sent to you after your flight.

Whale Watching Cruise

Welcome on deck: Receive a warm welcome from the friendly crew as they introduce you to the incredible humpback whale migration journey.

Whales up close: See humpbacks breaching, slapping their tails, or swimming with their calves—while your guide shares fun facts about their behavior.
