On a holiday in Mooloolaba you can be as busy as you want to be, or simply relax and enjoy one of the cleanest beaches in Queensland, but be sure to partake in one of the Mooloolaba Whale Watching charters.
See the magnificent whale breach. Hear their great tail slap the water. Feel the waves rock your boat. Marvel at their playfulness. Experience one of the fantastic wonders of nature, the Humpback Whale, one of the largest sea living mammals. View these giant creatures as they travel from there home in the Antarctic through the Australian Whale Sanctuary on their way to the warmer waters of Northern Queensland where they mate and give birth before returning homewards again.
Good whale watching tour operators obey strict guidelines about how close they can approach the whales so our annual ocean visitors trust us and don't fear the boats, meaning they often come right alongside to say hello (as whales do) and give onlookers the thrill of a lifetime.
You can expect sightings over 99% of cruises during the calm winter months. Look out for the vapour cloud as the whale expires. The beauty of Mooloolaba whale watching is that you don’t have to venture too far off shore to be right on top of the humpback whales. They generally pass within a kilometre or two of the beach, making it easy to spot them.
