Sunshine Coast Whale Watching Tour

Join Set Sail Cruises for an extraordinary Whale Watching Tour on the Sunshine Coast, where sailing meets the thrill of nature. Over three unhurried hours, our 35-foot Tasman Sailing Catamaran takes you from Mooloolaba into the pristine waters of the Pacific, where migrating humpback whales grace us with unforgettable displays.
 
With a maximum of just 20 guests, this is an intimate, premium experience designed to bring you closer to the action. From the sweeping decks of our catamaran, enjoy uninterrupted 360° ocean views as whales breach, slap their tails, and glide gracefully alongside the vessel. Often, you’ll witness mothers and calves at play — a heart-stirring sight that truly captures the magic of the migration.
 
Unlike crowded tours, sailing with us is about space, style, and serenity. Feel the sails catch the wind, the catamaran cutting smoothly across the waves, and the pure connection to the ocean that only sailing provides. Bring your favourite food and drinks, stretch out on deck, and savour a once-in-a-lifetime experience that combines relaxation with awe-inspiring encounters.
 
This is more than a tour — it’s a chance to create postcard-worthy memories and tick off one of the most remarkable things to do in Mooloolaba and on the Sunshine Coast.
