Experience Gold Coast Attractions

Whale Watching with Sea World Cruises

If you are planning a stay at Xanadu Main Beach Resort and want to add a truly unforgettable experience to your Gold Coast holiday, whale watching with Sea World Cruises is a must. From late May to early November, thousands of humpback whales migrate along the coast, offering guests the rare chance to witness these magnificent creatures up close. Located just minutes from Xanadu, the Sea World Cruises Terminal at Main Beach is your gateway to the famous Humpback Highway. Step aboard the Spirit of Migaloo II for a comfortable and spacious cruise, where expert guides share fascinating insights about the whales and their journey. As you glide along the coastline, keep your camera ready for spectacular breaches, tail slaps, and playful dolphins that often join the show.

Each 2.5-hour tour includes live commentary, underwater microphones to listen for whale songs, and panoramic viewing decks so you never miss a moment. Sea World Whale Watch offers a 100% Whale Sighting Guarantee, so if you do not spot a whale, you can return for another cruise free of charge.

After your adventure, you can relax at the waterfront café or browse the gift shop for a memento of your day on the water. With daily departures and easy access from Xanadu Main Beach Resort, this is the perfect way to experience the magic of the Gold Coast’s marine life during your stay.

Book your whale watching cruise and get ready for an ocean adventure that will be a highlight of your visit to Xanadu.

Fabulous apartment on 11th floor. Spectacular view and all amenities provided. Would definitely recommend this place to stay. Beds very comfortable. Walking distance to local shops and restaurants but not in a really busy area. - Marian H, Tripadvisor

We stayed in a really clean and large 2 bedroom ocean view apartment. Whole process was smooth from Check-In to Check-Out. King bed was super comfy and the ocean views were amazing, even on the lower floor that we stayed on. Would definitely return when we come back to the Gold Coast. - jarrod m, Tripadvisor
