The staff were friendly and helpful. I found out many interesting facts about whales in Australian waters. We saw about 6 whales including mothers and their calves. It was great.

The whole experience was wonderful. The captain and staff were fantastic. We saw quite a few whales. We had a seat on the top deck, a 360 degree view. Going again next month. Would recommend it highly to everyone.

The crew was top notch. The safety and the boat also got top marks. It was magical to see these whales from the boat. Highly recommend this tour. Malin from Sweden

It was amazing and the crew were great with explaining things and pointing out where the whales were when we found them. It was pretty rough out on the water, which we did get a message before hand about and were also asked if we still wanted to go out, of course I said yes because it was my birthday and I was hoping to see whales, which we did. My son did great for half the trip but sickness got the better of him even after after a sea sickness pill and have the band on as well. But was a great day out and will be doing again soon

    I would suggest a segregated area for children to gain a viewing perspective. Once the whales were sited, a large contingent of rude tourists would barge their way to the side of the vessel not giving care to any kids. My kid was knocked over pushed out of the way a few times. It made the first hour extremely unpleasant. out of the way a cou
