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.

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.

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.

Better than I imagined

We saw more whales than I ever expected — breaching, spy-hopping, the lot. The crew were brilliant and even guaranteed a sighting. Do it!

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.

About Whale Watching Cruise

Operated by Kokomo Cruises · 2 Hours, 30 Minutes · Gold Coast, QLD

Step aboard Kokomo Cruises for a relaxed whale watching cruise along the Gold Coast’s legendary Whale Highway, just a short run from the marina. In 2.5 hours, you’ll head out into the open water where humpback whales travel each year on their southern migration, often putting on a show with breaches, tail slaps and lazy passes right alongside the boat.

With limited seats on board, the experience feels personal and unhurried, giving you a front-row view without the crowds. Keep your camera ready, because you may also spot dolphins, sea turtles, fish and seabirds sharing the water with these gentle giants. It’s a brilliant way to see the Gold Coast from a different angle and learn why whales matter so much to the marine environment. If you’ve been keen to get out on the water and see nature do its thing, this is the one to book.

Know before you go: - Please arrive at the marina a little early so you have time to check in and board comfortably. - Bring a jacket or light jumper, as it can feel cooler on the water even on a warm day. - Pack sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses for sun protection out on the open ocean. - Have your camera or phone ready for whale breaches, dolphins and other marine life. - Whale sightings are seasonal and depend on nature, so wildlife encounters can’t be guaranteed. - If you’re prone to seasickness, it’s a good idea to take precautions before departure.
