Our tours run all year round, ensuring that whether it’s during the whale watching season or afterward, you can enjoy an exciting dolphin adventure tour.

Hi, I’m Christian, and I invite you to join me to experience the spectacular scenery and inconic sights of Noosa River and the Headlands in a way that can only be truly appreciated… from the water.

What to Expect on Your Dolphin Tour

We’ve hosted thousands of happy holiday makers and adventure seekers over the years. We’re the original and best adventure tour guides! So, embark on a scenic journey that showcases the breathtaking sights of the Noosa Coast while you enjoy the privilege of observing the region’s playful dolphins. Our tours depart and conclude at Noosa Marina, which makes it so easy for you to join us for an unforgettable experience.

After a brief introduction (with your Captain Christian), your dolphin watch tour kicks off with a relaxing cruise down the Noosa River. As we navigate around the stunning Noosa National Park Headland, you’ll be treated to spectacular views of the Noosa Marine Park, including iconic spots like Hells Gates.

Our team works hard to locate our friendly dolphins, usually found between the National Park and Sunshine Beach. Once we spot them, we spend quality time observing these magnificent creatures as they frolic in the waves, showcasing their playful nature.

Did you know that you might see Bottlenose Dolphins, family pods, baby dolphins, and even Spinner Dolphins. Who knows what nature will serve up to you?
