Hello! We are Spirit of Gold Coast Whale Watching
About
With over 20 year’s whale watching experience, we invite you to join us for a memorable adventure. As one of the pioneers of Whale Watching on the East Coast of Australia, our Gold Coast location allows Spirit of Gold Coast to enjoy the longest Whale Watching Season in Australia from June to early November each year. The Gold Coast is the best location for Whale Watching in Australia. This is due to the close proximity of Byron Bay being the most eastern point of the East Coast of Australia and so close to the Continental Shelf. The Humpback Whales always travel inside the Continental Shelf to protect themselves and their calves from the Orca, killer whale, one predator of the Humpbacks. Spirit of the Gold Coast’s main priority is not only to operate just as a tourist attraction, but to educate their guests and raise awareness of these magnificent creatures. Spirit actively supports Gold Coast Tourism, IFAW, Southern Cross University, and Sea Shepherd; and is a Member of Eco Tourism Australia.

in the last weekTook my father to go whale watching in Aug 2022. Had an absolutely wonderful experience and got to see plenty of whales. My father said it was one of the most memorable activities of his trip to visit us from South Africa. Staff and captain were lovely, friendly, and so professional. We were in absolutely safe hands and had a wonderful time. If you are after an experience like this. Spirit of Gold Coast is the place to visit. Would absolutely be back again in a heartbeat.

6 months agoNothing but AMAZING. The staff were brilliant and mixed with the guests. The boat was great, with complementary tea and coffee. And the WHALES. The most mind blowing, amazing experience ever. Will be back. Best whale watching cruise I have done!

6 months agoComfortable vessel with very friendly staff. Grown from a small family business, they look after all your needs. Plenty of room to see the whales on board, no need to worry about 'getting the best spot'. The crew also have a wealth of knowledge and a true respect for the ocean and all things under the sea.

7 months agoSpent the entire boat ride between 3 families of whales, being followed by a huge pod of dolphins. The crew were lovely and very knowledgeable, they respect the whales space and allow them to gain trust and curiosity. This way the whales come to play with the boat rather than being scared away. An amazing trip!
