ONE DAY · TWO PERSPECTIVES

Most people see whales once.
You’ll see them twice.

Every winter, thousands of humpbacks migrate past the Gold Coast. We’ve teamed up with Gold Coast Helitours so you can witness it twice in one day — once from the sky, once from the sea.

Gold Coast Helitours
OUR PARTNER IN THE SKY

Thirty years.
One heliport.
Zero incidents.

Gold Coast Helitours has been lifting off from their private heliport at Marina Mirage since the early 1990s — CASA-certified, flown by the region’s most experienced pilots, and recognised three years running as a Best of Queensland Experience. They are the reason your first view of the whales is from several hundred feet in the air.

“Seeing the whales from the air and again from the water on the same day was unreal. Hands-down the best thing we did on the Gold Coast.”

Hannah & Marcus

“The flight was breathtaking and the yacht was pure luxury. Two ways to experience the same whales — worth every cent.”

“Faultless from the heliport to the harbour. Both crews made it feel seamless and genuinely special.”

Humpback whale season on the Gold Coast runs from June to November, when thousands of whales migrate past the coastline. Departures run daily through the season, weather permitting.

In peak season sightings are extremely common. If your cruise doesn’t spot a whale, we’ll have you back out on another cruise free of charge under our sighting guarantee.

Yes — the bundle is designed as one seamless half-day: your scenic flight with Gold Coast Helitours, then your luxury cruise with Boattime. Exact timings are confirmed at booking.

Both experiences are family-friendly. If anyone in your group prefers to skip the flight, talk to us — we can tailor the package for your group.

Book online for instant confirmation, or enquire and our team will hold a spot for you. Seats per departure are strictly limited, so early booking is recommended.

WHALE SEASON · SEATS ARE LIMITED

Don’t watch from shore. Be in it.

The whales are here now — and there are only so many seats in the sky each day. Lock in your Sky to Sea experience before the season books out.
