4.00Since it was first day of the season we were not able to spot any whales. The crew members tried their best. However this company was professional enough to let us re-book for another date without any additional charges. Overall the arrangement was good and would recommend trying with them.
great trip

5.00Nice day out on the water. Migrating whales are hard to find, but we did see a couple of mom-calf pods. Naturalist provided good explanations of observed behaviors. Captain was respectful of the whales, did not approach too closely or stay with a single pod too long.
Good tour - average instructions

3.00Saw lots of whale activity, great guides and plenty of time to stop and watch close up! However, the boat was a lot bigger than expected and you have to compete with others for good views. Main problem though was the meeting instructions! So unclear through Viator, you need to collect tickets from Rottnest Fast Ferries but they don’t tell you this!! They give you a random address for meeting point that is in the middle of the car park?
Humpback whale watching
