Whale Watching Tour - Fitzroy Island Experience

Join us for an unforgettable whale watching adventure that includes up to 2.5 hours on stunning Fitzroy Island!

Whale watching season peaks between mid-July and the end of August, when humpback whales migrate over 10,000 km from Antarctica to breed in warmer waters. It's one of nature's most spectacular journeys-and you can witness it firsthand.

Fitzroy Island is a tropical paradise, covered in lush rainforest and surrounded by vibrant fringing coral reefs. While on the island, you can:

  • Hire snorkelling gear

  • Join a glass-bottom boat tour (available only on the 8:30 am departure)

  • Take part in a guided snorkel tour

  • Hike to the world-famous Nudey Beach

  • Explore the Summit or Lighthouse Trails

You also have the option to extend your island time to 4 hours, subject to availability.
