Mudjimba beach - Old Woman Island (or Mudjimba Island) is located 1km off the coast. There are a number of Aboriginal legends abound about the Island. One has it, the Island was the result of an epic battle between two men, Coolum and Ninderry, and a woman called Maroochy. The end result was that Coolum’s head was knocked off and ended up in the ocean, creating Mudjimba Island. Mount Coolum, seven kilometers to the north, is now flat topped due to the lack of a head!
There are various other legends involving Aboriginal women living on the island until old age, hence the “Old Woman” name.

Fantastic Fun! - We could not recommend Jake and Jake (the skipper and deckhand) enough. They are very professional, giving us a safety talk before we left and ensuring everyone was comfortable, which they continued to do throughout the trip. They lent me a spray jacket which was helpful, although the weather was so lovely I didn’t really need it.
We saw both whales and a pod of super cute dolphins, but even if we hadn’t, it would have been a great trip. Jake, the skipper was very knowledgeable about all things whale and a great “driver” too!

Fantastic tour & great crew - This is a must do experience, great way to spend a few hours! We were lucky enough to see two hump back whales, plenty of tail slapping. The crew were excellent and very safe! Thanks guys!

Super cool experience - Super cool experience to do. The sea was rough so we got a bit nauseous. But they took that into account. Captain was very friendly and his deckhand very helpful. Found the spot with the whales. Super nice to see.

Amazing Experience!! - Wonderful experience seeing the whales. It was amazing, the whales slapping their fins on top of the water, and making blowhole noises and other sounds - I will never forget this. Highly, highly recommend.

Friendly Crew but No Whale Sightings - We joined the whale watching tour with high hopes, as this was the main reason we travelled to the Sunshine Coast. Unfortunately, we didn’t see a single whale during the trip. We completely understand that nature is unpredictable and sightings can’t be guaranteed. However, it was disappointing to learn that there is no policy in place for a second chance or partial refund, as some other tour operators offer. When you’re marketing a tour specifically as a whale watching experience, it’s reasonable for customers to expect at least some form of goodwill gesture when no whales are seen, especially for those who travel specifically for this activity.
The crew was friendly and the boat was comfortable, but overall we left feeling let down.
