Whale Watching on the Central Coast

Experience the “Humpback Highway” with Sail Central Coast

Every year, these magnificent creatures embark on a long journey from icy Antarctica to the warmer breeding grounds off the Queensland coast.

On their way north, they choose to swim close to the Central Coast avoiding the great East Australian Current. This eases their efforts and allows us the perfect opportunity to witness their playful nature off the Bouddi National Park Peninsula.

Tabasco offers a large premium viewing platform, fully functioning galley, 2 bathrooms, a spacious saloon, and 2 expert crew members to ensure safe navigation and superb service.

With the season starting in early June, now is the best time to inquire.

The wonder of Whale Watching aboard Tabasco

Whale watching is more than just a visual spectacle; it is an emotional journey. The sheer size and power of humpback whales inspire awe and wonder, while their playful behaviors and interactions with their calves evoke a deep sense of connection and empathy.
