Sea World Nara Resort is proud to launch an exciting new venture: Spirit of the Bay is set to operate the new Spirit of Gold Coast Whale Watching Cruise Service from the resort’s private jetty, from Wednesday 8 June 2005.
Spirit of Gold Coast is the second of Spirit of the Bay’s whale watching cruise vessels to commence operation, and the first to service the central and northern areas of the Gold Coast. Spirit of the Bay’s Marketing Manager, Wayne Marsh, believes, “We have expanded our operations to better service our Gold Coast customers. Our main priority is not to operate just as a tourist attraction, but to educate our guests and raise awareness of these magnificent creatures.”
With fifteen years experience, Spirit of the Bay, the pioneer of whale watching on the east coast of Australia, is proud to boast 99.3% whale sightings, as well as being the only boat to have sighted “Migaloo”, the majestic white whale, for two years running!
Sea World Nara Resort’s General Manager, Mr Ernst Pfister, is delighted to initiate this exciting new service, stating, “Spirit of the Bay has presented us with this great opportunity to offer our guests, and the general public, a unique and almost religious experience. Sea World Nara Resort always strives to be innovative, and whale watching is definitely something no other resort on the Gold Coast offers!”
