Each year the magnificent southern humpback whales migrate to and from Antarctica. As these leviathans of the deep make their way through our warm waters they feed, mate and play in the clean, clear blue sea of Moreton Bay.
I recently had the pleasure of going on a whale watching trip with Brisbane Whale Watching, and I can't recommend it enough! My family and I had an incredible time onboard their awesome vessel. The food was delicious, and the staff were highly informative, adding to the educational aspect of the trip.
We were incredibly lucky to witness an abundance of whales, making the experience even more memorable. As we live on the north side of Brisbane, departing from Redcliffe was very convenient for us, and it turned out to be a fantastic day. I would give Brisbane Whale Watching a solid 5 stars for providing us with an unforgettable adventure!

We had a great day out on the boat. We saw loads of whales, dolphins, turtles and even a few sharks. The staff were amazing. The Captain Kerry was so informative. The food provided for lunch was great.
I have to specially mention staff member Loz (i hope i got the right staff member) she went above and beyond to help my daughter throughout the cruise yesterday. We really appreciated all her help.

Thank you Kerry & the Team for providing us with a wonderful day out. Staff were friendly, knowledgeable and happy to chat. We were celebrating my Aunty’s birthday and all our needs were happily accommodated for whilst onboard. Thank you for helping us make some special memories!! 💕

A once in a lifetime adventure. The boat was great and tidy and clean. Staff were very helpful and friendly and to top it off a nice lunch. A wonderful day to spend with the family.

We went as a family of 5 and had a great time for the most of it!
We saw some beautiful and breathtaking humpbacks whales and a few calves as well!
The crew on board were very helpful and very insightful, especially when it came to knowing when to back off and leave the pods alone and when they could approach.
The only things I would suggest to look at would be to address the boat boarding time. We noticed a lot of people still trying to board at 9:50 even though the booking was for 9am. I understand that you’d want everyone to be there however, I didn’t think it was overly fair to everyone who was there on time, that then had to wait on board for almost an hour.
Also, I understand seasickness is out of your control, however, a little more education on it prior to leaving might be helpful.. we saw a lot of people throwing up which wasn’t the best of views 😅.
But all in all, those were such small things, we did have a great time and we will try again next whale season 🥰
