    What To Expect

    Brisbane Whale Watching invites you to come on board the magnificent ‘Eye Spy’ for an encounter with the whales.

    Of all the great whales, the Humpback is the most surface active displaying behaviour that will not only inspire you but leave you in awe. There quite clearly is no better place to observe the mighty Humpback Whale than Brisbane’s Moreton Bay, recognised as one of the world’s best whale watching destinations.

    We believe that providing people with an opportunity to witness these amazing creatures first hand, not only do we put a lot of smiles on faces, but offer an increased awareness of the beauty of nature and the need to nurture our precious wildlife.

    Your adventure includes:
    - Beautiful fresh picnic lunchbox (Vegetarian and Vegan options available)
    - Extensive and informative commentary
    - A portion of every ticket is donated to whale charities
    - A licensed bar, snack and souvenir counter is available
    - GUARANTEED Whale Sightings
