A whale watching adventure like you've never experienced before!
All aboard the Coastal Express for the whale watching experience of a lifetime!
Experience the magic of seeing the spectacular humpback whales as they migrate past the Sunshine Coast from above and below the water!
Our state-of-the-art HD underwater cameras live stream the action below the surface and everyone gets uninterrupted views as these magnificent creatures perform breaches and tail slaps above the water. We take the experience a step further again with our brand new hydrophone which allows you to listen to the whales as they communicate amongst themselves!
Your experienced skipper will provide you with interesting and informative commentary as you take in the sights and sounds.
Small group sizes (max 20 people) means you won't be crowded and every person enjoys a front-row seat to this amazing spectacle!
Great experience, crew were fantastic. It was a lovely few hours out on the ocean. We saw a pod of whales to the right of the boat and a mum, baby and support whale on the left. Small boat with great view for everyone. You do get a bit wet at the rear but they provide weather proof jackets. Would have been a good idea to take binoculars as the whales were about 100 metres away
Amazing experience with friendly and knowledgeable crew. Saw multiple humpback whale mother and calves. Appreciated the respect the crew members gave to the whales - we got close enough for beautiful views but kept a good distance that the whales were comfortable enough to swim towards us.
Didn't see any whales Enjoyed the boat. Small number of people and enjoy the inflatable experience would have been 5 stars if there was a whale sighting.
Nice friendly crew and we did see some whales.

Nice day out but no whales…😂😂
The staff were great, it was a nice flat day, perfect conditions for whale watching but no one told the whales. The crew were very good at filling in the time but you could hear the disappointment in their voice that they couldn’t deliver. But I would & will go out them them again 100%
