IMPORTANT: This tour only runs from June until the end of October during Whale Season. This Eco Whale Watching Experience from Rainbow Beach to Double Island Point is truly unique. As we float in our kayaks, Humpback Whales are passing by, appearing relaxed and at ease. They feel secure because there’s no engine noise disturbing them. This eco-friendly approach is the best way to observe whales and other marine life in their natural habitat. Some days, the whales might be very curious and come close to us, while other days, they may stay further away. Every day is different but it’s important that it’s always on their terms. We are a fully permitted whale watching operator with general tour and private tour options, both available for this unique experience.
