Whales in Paradise

Whales in Paradise is the Gold Coast’s original whale-watching operator, departing conveniently from the riverside in Surfers Paradise. Specializing in boutique wildlife tours, the company offers guests the chance to witness the spectacular annual migration of Humpback whales along the ‘Humpback Highway.’ Their custom-built vessels are designed with low-to-the-water decks, ensuring an intimate and unobstructed view of these majestic marine mammals as they breach, tail-slap, and play. Each tour is led by experienced crews and marine naturalists who provide educational commentary about whale behavior and conservation. Beyond whales, sightings often include dolphins, sea turtles, and various seabirds. The tour also includes a scenic river cruise past the luxury mansions of the Gold Coast’s waterways before heading into the open ocean. With a 100% whale sighting guarantee and a commitment to sustainable tourism practices, Whales in Paradise provides a professional and awe-inspiring experience that highlights the natural beauty and biodiversity of the Queensland coastline.
