Your experience

Join this 2.5-hour cruise to see humpback whales up close, hear their songs through hydrophones, and enjoy epic ocean views all the way.

Getting started

Arrive at Sea World Cruises Terminal and check-in 20 minutes before departure. Grab a drink and some snacks at the Deck Cafe (at your expense), enjoy Broadwater views, and browse the informative whale history display before boarding.

What to expect

  • Welcome aboard: Board a spacious, purpose-built vessel and cruise to the Humpback Highway with expert guidance from experienced crew and a marine naturalist guide.

  • Spot the whales: See humpback whales breaching, tail-slapping, and more. Listen to live whale sounds through hydrophones and watch underwater footage in real time.

  • More marine life: Spot bottlenose dolphins, sea turtles, and seabirds from wide open decks as you cruise through open waters.

  • Back to shore: Once back at the terminal, stop by the ocean-themed gift shop to buy a keepsake. A portion of all purchases supports marine research and rescue through the Sea World Foundation.
