Whale Watching Cruise from Mooloolaba

Aboard Crusader 1, our massive 55ft vessel, we offer a truly unique and intimate experience. Originally built as a commercial vessel, Crusader 1 was designed with exceptional safety and stability as its foundation, ensuring a smooth and secure journey even in open-ocean conditions. Unlike larger, crowded tour boats, we strictly limit our 3-hour cruises to just 22 passengers. This low-capacity approach guarantees you a "rail-side position" at all times, providing unobstructed 360-degree views and the perfect vantage point for photos without ever having to jostle for a look. Our open-deck design allows you to fully immerse yourself in the marine environment. You’ll have the chance to see whales in their natural habitat. The experience is as educational as it is breathtaking. Our informative and friendly crew are passionate about the region’s marine life and share in-depth knowledge and local insights, making your encounter both personal and profound.

Summary: My wife and I had two trips out: the first was a little breezy, but we saw lots of whales breaching, fin waving and tails. The second trip was marvellous: not only were there more whales, but they were much closer, even to about 10 metres from the boat. We could see their huge size and their white bellies. The crew were excellent with very helpful commentaries. I strongly recommend going out with Cavalier Cruises: book direct.

Summary: This was amazing. Small group with an extremely comfortable large boat. Captain and crew were very polite and so engaging. Free drinks and snacks throughout the entire cruise and wow so many whales. We followed a large pod x7 males in search of the females for over an hour and they swam up to and under the boat. Dolphins were also in abundance. Best whale watching trip I have ever been on. Highly recommend this trip.

Summary: Team Carlos and Christine were on fire! Whales spotted within 20 mins of the cruise starting! Cavalier Cruises - the best cruise to go whale spotting, limited numbers on the cruise means no crowding and room to relax and enjoy the experience! Highly recommend!
