What to expect
You'll board the Amaroo and settle in for a methodical search across the bay, with crew actively spotting humpbacks during migration season. Guides provide live commentary on what you're seeing—breaches, tail slaps, social behaviour—and point out landmarks and ecology of nearby Fraser Island. The vessel is stable and comfortable, with indoor seating available. Refreshments arrive mid-cruise. Most passengers see whales, though sightings depend on weather and sea conditions.
