What will I see?
Each year from June through until early November, the mighty Southern humpback whales grace us with their beauty as they migrate through the crystal clear waters of South East Queensland. Each and every Brisbane Whale Watching’s tour is a unique experience and sightings vary from day to day. Whilst the humpback whales are the stars of the show, a typical tour may encounter pods of dolphins leaping and playing alongside our magnificent vessel as well as an array of other marine life.

Brisbane Whale Watching’s tours are always subject to sea conditions. Our team constantly monitors weather and respond professionally to any changes. Guest comfort and safety is always our priority. Should a cruise be cancelled due to tide and / or weather conditions, a seat on the next available cruise will be offered or a full refund will be given.
If my tour is cancelled, will I be transferred to the next one?
Yes, should a cruise be cancelled due to tide and / or weather conditions, a seat on the next available cruise will be offered or a full refund will be given.
How long is the tour?
The tour boards at 9.30am and returns to shore between 2.30pm and 3.00pm.
What should I wear on my Brisbane Whale Watch tour?
Dress warmly and wear flat shoes. If you wish to spend time on the outside decks of our vessel, you may like to wear a light waterproof wind-jacket.
What if I get seasick?
MV Eye-Spy has been purpose built to specifications to ensure maximum comfort for whale watching. However, should you if you are susceptible to motion or seasickness, natural active motion-sickness tablets are available on board.
Can I buy film on board MV Eye-Spy?

Yes – please contact our friendly booking operators regarding tides.
Hey Guys! This sounds like a great trip…would love to book it with ya’ll.
I just wanted to point out that not all whale watching tour companies are this customer-oriented. Take advantage of it, if you can. Here in the U.S., San Diego in particular, there are some great whale watching opportunities. However, the amenities offered on this cruise are far, far nicer than ours. On my last whale watching adventure…there were no whales, a ship full of sea-sick folks (including the crew), no refunds or free tickets for the next cruise…
Get out there, and have fun!
It is set to be an awesome day Deb. Tides are right, weather forecast looks great. They tell me they have been seeing whales on a daily basis. Would be a trip worthy of the expense from San Diego.
