Brisbane Whale Watching
Facilities and Information
Just 30 minutes north of Brisbane, on the Redcliffe Peninsula, is our luxury whale watching vessel. 'Eye Spy’ represents the ultimate in ‘whale friendly’ design and technology.
It is a brand new purpose built whale
watching vessel built locally at a cost of $3 million.
The captain, Kerry is recognised as the only woman captain skippering a
whale watching venture in the South Pacific Rim. Her crew are skilled,
dedicated seamen who will assure you a pleasant and sound whale
watching adventure.
Each year the magnificent southern humpback whales migrate to and from Antarctica.
As
these leviathans of the deep make their way through our warm waters,
they feed, mate and play in the clean, clear blue sea of Moreton Bay.
Let us schedule a full day whale watching tour with coach transfer for
you!
Up close interaction - The whales are as inquisitive as you are...
Intelligent
and naturally curious mammals, the whales greet their visitors with
playful behaviour that will both charm and inspire you. You’ll be
struck by their magnificent grace as these gentle giants breach, blow
and frolic only metres away!
The Vessel's passenger comforts include:
* Six viewing decks and large bow with surrounding decks for
unobstructed viewing - no longer will you have to wrestle with other
passengers to obtain the ultimate vantage point!
* Floor to ceiling glass in air-conditioned cabins - staying inside will not hinder your viewing pleasure!
* Comfortable seating along with her excellent sea keeping qualities
makes travelling to and from the whales both safe and enjoyable.
* Whale-friendly, low noise propellers minimize underwater noise, while
electronically controlled engines reduce fuel usage and exhaust
emissions making her environmentally friendly to all marine life.
We
believe that by 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.
Whilst keeping a look out you're given an excellent commentary which provides educational information on these huge mammals.
