Top Noosa & Sunshine Coast Float Trips

To see these amazing creatures in their natural habitat has been on my bucket list for years. Now I can finally say - tick! This was a truly magical experience, the highlight being the flapping of the fins, seeing their white underbellies and having a pod of 5 whales playfully surrounding the boat. The staff were lovely and the commentary fascinating. Being a small boat felt intimate and private. Highly, Highly recommnend - and would go again!

It was a little confusing to find, a sandwich board at the dock would avoid confusion for patrons new to the area. The trip itself was marvellous. Loads of information, friendly staff, a beautiful day, whales were watched, dolphins were spotted and all was right with the world

What an incredible experience!! Loved the fact this was a smaller boat that was quick to respond to sightings. The crew were fantastic and I really appreciated the extra conversations, the sharing of previous trip experiences and viewing their personal videos. Highly, HIGHLY recommend choosing this trip.

This is great for everyone young and old. The operators were lovely and so was the day. Was really happy with the experience.

What an awesome day, staff were great and genuinely wanted to find whales for us. Super friendly and knowledgeable too

Thank you Jack Shea!!We had an absolutely amazing whale watching tour with Adventure Rafting! From the moment we arrived, everything was perfectly organized. The entire crew was incredibly friendly, professional, and welcoming.The information and explanations throughout the tour were excellent. Their knowledge about whales was extensive, fascinating, and shared with so much enthusiasm that it made the experience even more special.A special compliment to our captain, who knew exactly where to take us. During our two-hour tour, we spent around an hour and a half watching whales almost continuously. Seeing these magnificent animals so close in their natural habitat was a dream come true.This was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Australia. Outstanding service, excellent guidance, and an unforgettable experience from start to finish.Thank you, Adventure Rafting, for giving us such an incredible day. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Sunshine Coast! 5 stars!

Operators were knowledgeable, experienced, and friendly. They were able to locate a whale relatively quickly, and follow the whale as it moved around, offering several viewing chances for the passengers.

Excellent outing. The crew were friendly and excited. They were informative and really took their time with all the sightings. We got back 30 minutes overtime, but we saw so many whales, the captain didn't want to rush the experience. Loved this. Thanks 😊

If you love a thrill the boat ride out and back is super speedy and if there's a bit of a swell you will get splashed and bumped around a bit! The animals were beautiful to see, the island was fun as well! And the staff were lovely! Informative, kind, funny. If you have a bad back maybe skip it if it's a rough day on the ocean. Seeing the Mooloolaba/Coolum skyline from out at sea was a great and humbling experience. Seeing the mountains was also wonderful!

The staff were amazing with their friendly explanations and smiles. It was great to see the communication between boats for the sighting of whales and we were so lucky to see a mum, calf and escort.

Fantastic small group tour. Our crew Rod & Jake were fabulous, informative & professional. We learnt so much about humpback whales in such a short time. The boat was very comfortable, zippy & viewing was great as group was small. We saw/followed 3 pods during the two hours watching mum, baby & their escort which was fascinating. We were lucky enough to see a breach with our last pod which was incredible. Our first whale watching tour & we were not disappointed. The two hours flew by but was also perfect timing if you don't want to be out for half a day. Highly recommended with a great ethical crew. Thank you

Our two skippers Rod & Hayden were 100% in every way. They did their utmost to make our trip informative, fun and most of all to find some whales for us to marvel at. The boat seats about 20 people and there was a lot of room to stand up and move around while the boat was idling, allowing us to watch the whales migrating south to Antarctica. We learned a lot from both Rod and Hayden about whale behaviour, habits and conservation. They handled the boat beautifully, finding the best places to idle to give the best views, followed by a bit of an adrenaline ride back into harbour. I can highly recommend this trip from start to finish. (possibly not for people who know they will or might get seasick as the boat is very close to the water) .

Amazing experience! Mother and son date! Lots of info on the whales on the way out, and saw a baby calf breach!

Very good value. Informative with lots of local knowledge. Great value. We had a whale of a time 🐋🐋😁😁

An absolutely wonderful experience, with some awesome sightings of frolicking whales. I wasn't quite expecting such a fast boat and for how wet we all got, but it was the most incredible fun. Friendly and knowledgeable crew to top it off.

We had a fabulous, fun and informative experience. We were lucky enough to see a “heat-run” where a number of bulls cute for a female in order to mate. They were chasing each other and knocking each other around. Our boat managed to get up quite close. Great fun commentary from the skipper.
