Overview
Come whale watching in Coffs Harbour and you are guaranteed to see a Humpback whale! Humpback whales travel unusually close to Coffs Harbour and it is rare not to see whales within 15-20 minutes after leaving port and with a 100% sighting success rate last year, a whale watching cruise in Coffs Harbour is an unforgettable, lifetime experience. We have a purpose built 10m motor sailing catamaran that has been Coffs' favourite boat for 14 years.
The boat has excellent viewing and passenger numbers are limited to ensure there are no crowds - forget the huge boats carrying hundreds of people our maximum number of passengers is 23. Come and see the whales with the crew that love them as much as you will.
For us it's not about money and lots of passengers - it's a passion! Our harbour has safe access (no sandbars) and as your enjoyment and comfort are our priority, we only cruise when weather conditions permit.
As we rarely have to travel far to locate whales, our cruises are generally 2 1/2 hours in duration - this means less time travelling and more time with the whales. With whales as close as the harbour entrance (yes we have the photos), the best value cruises on the eastern seaboard of Australia and a convenient location between Sydney and Brisbane, why would you choose anywhere else to experience the splendour of whale watching. But we warn you it is infectious! We have had one passenger do 70 cruises in a season and has been a regular for many years.
It really does not matter if you have seen whales before, the thrill of travelling beside a 40 tonne creature or seeing them playfully slap their pecs or tail or to see them breach out of the water is to experience one of the world's true wonders.
