Good to know

100% Sighting Guarantee. If we don't spot a whale, you come back free (during the same whale watching season, no refunds or transfers will be given if you are unable to participate). In over a decade of tours, we've maintained one of the best sighting records on the Gold Coast.

On very rare occasions, tours may be cancelled (severe weather, road or park closures, insufficient numbers (50 pax)). Should this occur, you will be transferred to an alternative tour / date,or if this is not suitable, you will receive a full refund.

Due to limited service/technical issues with processing card payments werecommend you bring cash on board.

What You Should Bring? Sunscreen and sunglasses. A camera or fully charged phone — you will want it. A warm layer for open-deck viewing (the ocean breeze can be cool). Non-slip, comfortable shoes. Seasickness medication if you're prone — take 30 minutes before boarding. Photo ID for the licensed bar.

If you are prone to seasickness, we recommend taking a motion sickness tablet at least 30 minutes prior to departure. Sun Goddess is a large, stable superyacht — one of the fastest and most stable whale watching vessels on the Gold Coast.

Absolutely — all ages are welcome aboard. Life jackets and full safety briefings are provided. Our marine biologist makes the commentary fun and engaging for kids too.

All cruises operate in all weather unless conditions are unsafe. Sun Goddess has covered viewing areas on every deck, plus a warm galley with complimentary hot chocolate and coffee.

We follow all marine park regulations and maintain a respectful distance — but humpbacks are naturally curious and often approach the vessel. Our marine biologist will explain their behaviour in real time.

Most charters run the calm Broadwater — Wave Break Island, Sanctuary Cove, Jumpinpin, the Scottish Prince wreck, the mansions at Sovereign Islands. When conditions invite, we push north into Moreton Bay for Tangalooma, Moreton Island and Stradbroke.

An onboard photographer captures every breach and tail slap. Your best shots are available to purchase after the tour — no camera skills required.

No Show: No refund.

Any personal expenses incurred by clients as a result of any delay or alterations of any tour due to reasons listed above are the responsibility of the client.

Please note: We reserves the right to change the vessel for various reasons including tides, weather and other factors that are beyond our control.

Cruise times and duration may change due to tide issues.

Our charters are currently not wheelchair accessible. Boarding requires a step up from the marina pontoon, and space onboard can be limited depending on the vessel and guest needs. In some cases, exceptions may be possible if we are notified at least 1 week before departure. This allows our team to review the requirements, arrange adequate crew support, and confirm whether the charter can be accommodated safely. For safety reasons, electric wheelchairs are not permitted onboard.
