What to expect
With over 30 years experience, Blue Dolphin Marine Tours offers one of the most comprehensive whale watching tours in Queensland. Travelling aboard a comfortable, multi award-winning sailing vessel allows guests to feel like they are in the heart of the humpback whale’s playground.
Owner / Skipper Peter Lynch brings his knowledge, experience and passion on board each whale watch encounter providing expert commentary as he showcases the magnificent humpback whales in their natural environment.
Cruising the calm waters of Platypus Bay, guests may experience a variety of behaviours by the inquisitive and active humpback whales in their natural environment such as tail-slapping, breaching, pectoral slapping or spy-hopping.
