Bucket-list whale watching
Humpbacks everywhere, a calf breaching over and over. The commentary really added to it. Warm, friendly crew and a very comfortable boat.

Whales put on a show!
We had humpbacks breaching right beside the boat — mums and calves waving their fins. The crew clearly knew where to find them. Magical morning.

Amazing sightings
Saw multiple whales breaching and tail-slapping. Bit of swell out there but the skipper positioned us perfectly for photos. Loved it.

So close to the whales
A curious whale came right up to the boat and hung around for ages. The guides were passionate and knew heaps about the humpbacks. Unforgettable.

Great morning on the water
Plenty of whale activity and a knowledgeable crew. Would have liked a touch longer out there but a wonderful experience overall.

Humpbacks stole the show
These gentle giants breached so close we got soaked and did not care one bit. The guides were fantastic with the kids too.

About Whale Watching in Moreton Bay
Operated by Brisbane Whale Watching · 8 Hours · Brisbane, QLD
Set out from Brisbane for a full-day whale watching cruise in Moreton Bay, one of the world’s most reliable places to see humpback whales up close. From the moment you board the sleek vessel Eye Spy on the Redcliffe Peninsula, you’ll be heading into prime whale territory with an expert crew, upbeat commentary and a front-row seat to the action.
Out on the water, keep your eyes peeled for breaches, tail slaps, spouts and those curious moments when a whale comes in close to check you out. With Captain Kerry Lopez at the helm and a crew who know these waters inside out, you’ll feel well looked after from start to finish. A gourmet picnic lunchbox, licensed bar and relaxed onboard atmosphere make the day easy, comfortable and properly enjoyable.
If you’ve been wanting to see these gentle giants in their natural home, this is the kind of day that stays with you long after you’re back on shore. Book your spot and get ready for a brilliant day on Moreton Bay.
Know before you go: - Boarding begins at 9.00am for a 10.00am departure, with return to Redcliffe Jetty around 2.30pm. - Tours run daily from June to November, weather permitting. - Return bus transfers are included from Brisbane CBD, but infants are charged $30 for the transfer service. - Bring a light jacket, sunscreen, sunglasses and a camera for time on the water. - This is a wildlife experience, so whale sightings are not guaranteed, though Moreton Bay is one of the best places in Australia to spot them. - The vessel is wheelchair accessible, making it easier for more travellers to enjoy the day.
