Here are out top whale watching hot spots near Brisbane in the Moreton Bay Region.
Jump aboard the purpose-built, twin-hulled catamaran, Eye Spy with the only female captain in the southern hemisphere for a day or afternoon of whale watching near Brisbane. With Brisbane Whale Watching, you have a 100% guarantee of sighting a humpback whale as they take on their 10,000km trek north for migration season.

A luxury getaway itself, Tangalooma Island Resort also offers great opportunities to get out and see the marine wildlife living in the Moreton Bay.
