Ballina Whale Watching Adventure

$139 ALL-IN — NO BOOKING FEES, NO CARD SURCHARGES & NO SURPRISES AT CHECKOUT

Step aboard Cetacean One, our brand-new, one-of-a-kind purpose-built catamaran, and experience a new standard of whale watching on the East Coast of Australia.

Join our experienced local owner-operator skipper and marine biologist guides for an unforgettable encounter with migrating humpback whales along the spectacular Ballina–Byron coastline.

Built for space, comfort and incredible wildlife viewing, Cetacean One is a 36-seat vessel, but we limit our whale watching tours to a maximum of just 26 guests. That means plenty of extra room to move around the boat, find the best viewing position and enjoy a comfortable, uncrowded experience on the ocean.
