Mooloolaba Whale Watching – Small Group Tour
Fabulous trip with expert Skippers
Our two skippers Rod & Hayden were 100% in every way. They did their utmost to make our trip informative, fun and most of all to find some whales for us to marvel at. The boat seats about 20 people and there was a lot of room to stand up and move around while the boat was idling, allowing us to watch the whales migrating south to Antarctica. We learned a lot from both Rod and Hayden about whale behaviour, habits and conservation. They handled the boat beautifully, finding the best places to idle to give the best views, followed by a bit of an adrenaline ride back into harbour. I can highly recommend this trip from start to finish. (possibly not for people who know they will or might get seasick as the boat is very close to the water) .

Noosa Queen Sunset Cruise River
Beautiful sunset with interesting commentary
The crew were both informative & fun. The boat had ample seats, toilets & bar. The skipper pointed out Eagles, osprey, red winged kites & many other birds, & whilst watching the sunset he told us all about the land & surrounding mountains which was all very interesting.
