The 2011 Whale Watching season has finished!

Thank You Whale Watchers for sharing the 2011 Whale Watching Season with Spirit of Gold Coast.
It has truly been a spectacular season with spy-hopping, tail & chin slaps, and countless breaches only Mother nature could Choreograph!
2012 Season commences early June so why not join us for a journey of a lifetime!

This is your opportunity to marvel at the majestic Humpback Whales in their natural environment with the stunning Gold Coast skyline glistening in the background. Take home unique memories that only Mother Nature can provide, complemented by knowledgeable commentary from our experienced crew. Spirit of Gold Coast is a family run company with a passion for Humpback Whales. We aim to make your whale watching cruise a truly memorable experience.
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 late May to early November each year.

Experience first hand one of the world’s largest sea-based mammals, the Humpback Whales in their natural environment. Within minutes our vessel, Spirit of Gold Coast, will have you up close and personal with these

majestic creatures as they perform some of the most amazing acrobatic displays that only Mother Nature can choreograph.

Come and see these remarkable mammals migrate north to warmer waters to give birth and/or mate, and return south with their newborn calves. This amazing journey is a truly captivating experience, as right before your very eyes these 40 ton Humpback Whales, breach, wave their pectoral fins and slap their tails.

2

Accessible viewing space and decks – You want a vessel you can see all around the boat and especially ahead of the boat.
