Brisbane whale watching cruises at RedBalloon

RedBalloon captures the magic of these kings and queens of the sea in a range of Queensland whale-watching tours. There’s a selection of whale-watching Brisbane deals that focus on humpback whales migrating from Brisbane to Redcliffe and beyond, offered online.

Where can I see whales in Brisbane?

When to go whale watching in Brisbane?

Whale-watching season in Brisbane begins annually in June and concludes at the end of October. This timeframe provides ample opportunities to make the most of the whale-watching season in Queensland. RedBalloon offers a range of whale-watching Redcliffe experiences and other cruises in the surrounding region. Humpback whales are the most surface active of the species, so whale watchers are in for a visual treat.

Where is Redcliffe?

Does rain affect whale watching?

Rain does not dampen the whale-watching experience. Day cruises and shorter whale-watching events still go ahead as planned, but it’s important to be weather ready and stay under cover where possible. Migrating whales still come out to play in rain, hail or shine, so regardless of the conditions, sightseers are in for an unforgettable animal experience. All whale-watching tours offered at RedBalloon take place on state-of-the art cruising vessels, with multiple viewing decks. These cruises are not only operated by expert and informative crew, but are also custom-designed to be enjoyed in maximum comfort – in any weather.
