Spirit of Gold Coast Whale watching boat off Surfers Paradise. You can see a humpback whale in the foreground. This photo was taken whilst I was aboard a whale watching trip with Australian Whale Watching in 2008. I have reviewed that trip including lots of photos and some video.

One of the great things about the whale watching tours in the Gold Coast is that on this day the Spirit crew were really fantastic in letting us come over to check out their whales.

Quick Facts about Spirit Of The Gold Coast Whale Watching

The boat leaves around 9.30am (boarding at 9.00am) from Berth D19 at Marina Mirage, Main Beach. This is the lower pontoon on the right hand side when walking out from the open air car park between Marina Mirage Shopping Centre and Mariners Cove. Beware, if you take the upper pontoon (the left hand one) by the time you realise you will have to walk all the way back!  

This boat returns to Marina Mirage around 12pm. You need to be at the jetty about half an hour before the tour departs. 

About This Gold Coast Whale Watching Tour Operator

Although the 24m catamaran can take up to 170 passengers into open waters, they limit the passengers to 145 during whale watching season to ensure that viewing is good for everyone.

Review of this Gold Coast Whale Watching Tour

I haven't been on this tour yet - but the view we got of them when we were recently on the Australian Whale Watching boat and the way they were so accommodating when we came to check out their whales - I wouldn't hesitate to try them out.  

I am planning to go on this tour a little later this season to see if I can get some photos of breaching and new born whale calves and perhaps even a pesky orca! I'll also be more prepared with the video too!

Spirit of the Gold Coast are usually priced a little lower than the other whale watching cruises, so you may save about $10 per adult on this tour, that changes from year to year so you need to check.
