Every year, they leave their feeding grounds in Antarctica from March to April and travel north between June and August to the Great Barrier Reef to give birth. They return south with their calves from August to early November, offering plenty of opportunities to witness their journey. Breaching is one of the most iconic and spectacular behaviours in whale watching. Humpbacks breach more frequently than any other species of whale. The whales launch themselves out of the water, twisting and splashing back down. Why do they do it? Scientists believe it could be communication, parasite removal, or just pure fun. Either way, it’s an unforgettable moment. Who is watching who? Spyhopping occurs when a whale lifts its head vertically out of the water, allowing its eyes to peek above the surface. While the exact reason behind this behavior remains a mystery, it's thought to be a way for whales to survey their surroundings. Some theories suggest it aids in navigation, while others believe it’s simply driven by curiosity. Some whales are naturally curious and may approach boats; this is called mugging. They often stay metres from the boat, offering a close-up view of their impressive size and unique features. This rare interaction provides an incredible opportunity to observe these majestic creatures up close. When a humpback prepares to dive, its massive tail, or fluke,... --- ### Whale Watching Vessels > Sea World Cruises has two equally enjoyable Whale Watching vessels.

With over 45,000 Whales expected to pass by the Gold Coast this year, any month during the migration season is excellent for whale watching. Whales continue their migration journey regardless of the weather, allowing you to witness them in all conditions! There is no difference in Whale activity between dawn and dusk. In addition to the majestic Humpback Whales, look for our resident bottlenose dolphins, minke whales, green sea turtles, and pelagic bird species. As a responsible whale-watching operator, we adhere to the Queensland Government's Rules for Watching Marine Mammals. We maintain a distance of at least 100 metres from whales, ensuring their safety and comfort. However, if the whales choose to approach us, they can come as close as they like, a behaviour known as "mugging. "If the sea conditions are expected to be rough, we will notify you at check-in. You will be given the option to proceed with the tour, reschedule for another day, or receive a full refund. --- ### Gold Coast > The Gold Coast is located in the South-East region of Queensland, the second-largest state in Australia.

Assistance Animals are permitted to accompany their owner in all public areas, including dining venues. Kindly note, we do not accept pets or emotional support animals. While in public areas, Assistance Animals must be on a leash, harness or another restraining device. Please have your animal wear its jacket with branding from the organisation that qualified it or have documentation showing that the Assistance Animal is qualified, accredited, and serving the person they are with. Care and supervision of the Assistance Animal is the sole responsibility of the owner. Like humans, animals can experience sea sickness (also known as motion sickness). Excessive salivation and vomiting are common side effects. Affected animals may also yawn, whine, or show signs of uneasiness and apprehension; severely affected animals may also develop diarrhea. The effects of motion sickness are more pronounced in offshore environments such as those encountered during our whale watching experiences. The following tips may make your animal's travel more enjoyable and reduce motion sickness: Withhold food 12 hours before travel An empty stomach will help reduce nausea and the need for frequent potty breaks that are often unwelcome, especially during long sea travel. Anti-nausea medications Anxiolytic and antinausea drugs available in tablet and injectable forms can be used... --- ### Accessibility - Companion Card Holders > National companion cardholders who purchase a ticket can receive admission for their companion at 50% RRP - Published: 2023-05-25 - Modified: 2024-07-23 - URL: https://seaworldcruises.com.au/accessibility/companions/ Companion Card Holders Companion Card Holders National companion cardholders who purchase a ticket can receive admission for their companion at 50% RRP.

Sea sickness is preventable is most individuals. - Published: 2023-03-14 - Modified: 2024-07-29 - URL: https://seaworldcruises.com.au/seasickness/ Seasickness Advice Seasickness With a little advance preparation everyone can experience a magical day out with the whales. Seasickness, also known as motion sickness, travel sickness, airsickness or carsickness, may occur in response to certain types of movement such as the rocking of a vessel on the ocean. Seasickness is treatable in the vast majority of individuals. If you are concerned about motion sickness, taking medication beforehand ensures you can fully enjoy your whale-watching adventure. Remember, sea sickness medication prevents discomfort rather than curing it. For assistance, please visit your local pharmacy in advance or speak to our friendly staff on the day of your tour. Research suggests that ginger can help to ease the symptoms of motion sickness. Ginger is available in raw, crystalised and pill from your pharmacist. Some factors may make motion sickness more likely to occur, including: Women are generally more susceptible than men. Children are more susceptible than adults (generally between the ages of two and 12 years). Hormonal factors include pregnancy, menstrual cycle factors and oral contraceptives. Other balance disorders may be a factor, particularly vestibular disease and migraine. A person who has experienced motion sickness in the past may have worse symptoms on future trips by expecting to feel sick. Symptoms can range from mild to serious, and can include: dizziness generally feeling unwell and tired excessive production of saliva headache nausea, vomiting burping sweating There are different things you can try in order to prevent motion sickness or at least reduce its... --- ### Frequently Asked Questions > All of your dining & whale watching cruise questions answered - Published: 2023-03-13 - Modified: 2024-07-23 - URL: https://seaworldcruises.com.au/faq/ Frequently Asked Questions We advise that guests should arrive approx. 30 minutes before their departure time.
