Choppy but rewarding.
New York City
Brisbane Whale Watching Cruise from Redcliffe or Brisbane City
Shazyean, Sep 2026
Choppy but rewarding.
In Brisbane, this is a MUST DO if not done before.September is peak whale season, and Moreton Bay has lot of them as the whales use the shelter to fatten their calf or give birth. Lots of action we saw in the choppy watersWe went on 16 September 2026, a Wednesday and boy was the sea winds high. Just strong winds throughout our trip. You can enter by 9 am which is when the tour starts. Enter the catamaran but they only departed at 10 am. Full boat! We bought the premium seats which were near the windows which I recommend. There is also a VIP area near the captain's seat upstairs which is less choppy I suppose. Fully closed up. The lunch was cold food, fruits and chicken salad. You can buy drinks and snacks in the catamaran as they have like a food stall inside. Very comfortable I must say. Great set up. Safety was also important with a briefing.The sea was choppy, but we saw two pods; one a mom and 2 juvenile whales, and a whole bunch of big male whales came like 5 of them to 'court' the mom. Mom was busy protecting her 2 babies. Lots of breaching and jumping. We started moving back to Redcliffe by 1:40 pm. By then the sea was very choppy and the trip back was very wet and tough. Waves were so high that you can see a sea of white capped waves across the bay.Overall, the visit was very good. Parking was also easy as we parked in front of the Redcliffe Police station parking lot which is free.

Brisbane Whale Watching Cruise from Redcliffe or Brisbane City
kathrynrV5757UN, Sep 2026
Great way to see Humpback Whales
This cruise is a great way to see humpback whales in their natural habitat. The cruise offers beautiful Moreton Bay views, and the whale encounters can be spectacular during the migration season. The experience is enjoyable for families, couples, and visitors looking for a memorable day on the water.

Surprising Experience
Loved the experience. Enjoyed a lovely meal at the yacht club prior to being taked out for our 1st sailing experience. Was pleasantly surprised that my partner and I were the only guests included on the cruise. Found the skipper and 1st mate to be very informative and friendly. Made this a highlight of our time in Townsville that I would recommend to anyone.

Camira Sailing Adventure through Whitsunday Islands
kbptravelers, Sep 2026
Great day excursion
The crew was excellent! Food was amazing. We were coming from Daydream Island so the logistics of getting to the Camira at Port of Arlie was not very clear from Cruise Whitsundays but it all worked out just fine. The stop at White Haven Beach was beautiful but we really didn’t get instructions from the crew so each dingy full of people took off on their own. Again, it all worked out and it was a lovely spot. Overall I would recommend the excursion.

An amazing experience from start to finish!
Me and my partner had an amazing time on the Matador Whitsundays - the views were incredible, the food was great and the staff were brilliant (shout-out Kayla, Ellie, Nan and Lochy) from start to finish - had a few good laughs! Can't recommend the experience enough, and I'd definitely suggest booking with Matador to get access to some pretty unique spots and have them all to yourselves (plus they actually sail which was lovely)!
