Experience Overview:

Coffs Harbour Whale Watch Experience

Experience the excitement of cruising with Humpback whales during their migration through the pristine Solitary Island Marine Park. We take limited passengers due to social distancing requirements, ensuring you have ample opportunity to see the whales up close and personal. We have been continuously operating since 1994, so we have the experience and knowledge of how to maximise your time with the whales. Whale watching is our passion and this is best shared with small passenger groups, where you have freedom to move about the wide deck, uninterrupted viewing, no restrictive seating and no crowds.
Cruises are 2 hrs, departing from Coffs Harbour International Marina.

As we locate whales from headlands prior to each cruise, we generally have whales near the boat within 15 minutes of leaving the harbour.
