  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Aquascene Sunset Tour is an absolute must-do, whether you’re a local or visiting the region. From start to finish, the experience is both relaxing and memorable. The scenery is simply breathtaking, with stunning views across to Magnetic Island as the sun sets over the water. The changing colours of the sky, combined with the chance to spot local wildlife, make it truly special. What really elevates the experience is the entertaining and informative commentary from experienced tour operator Adam. His local knowledge, storytelling, and passion for the region bring the journey to life, adding depth, humour and insight that make the tour far more than just a scenic cruise. It’s the kind of experience that makes you appreciate just how incredible North Queensland is. Highly recommend!! This is one you won’t forget.

  It was a fantastic day with AquaScene which was full of fun, excitement and unforgettable moments from Mother Nature! Townsville and Maggie Island is a perfect couple, Pearls of Pacific!

  Awesome afternoon with skipper Kalvin for our Hens cruise - unfortunately he didn't double as a stripper but we all still had a great time

• BEFRIENDED BY A WHALE ❤️

  Aquascene sunset and whales tour turned out to be the experience of a lifetime when we were befriended by a young whale. He swam right up to our boat and spent more than half an hour investigating us. First one side, then diving under us and up the other, bow and stern, port and starboard he rolled and called , showed us his belly and tail. Captain Adam was obviously as entranced as his passengers as he kept us floating in place on what was a gentle swell on a perfect day. The sunset views from the water made the most of Maggie's spectacular rocky bays and a delicious afternoon tea was served. The boat is comfortable and feels safe. Thanks to Captain Adam's expert knowledge, intuition and careful piloting we saw a number of other whales at greater distance, but none on board will ever forget our extended communion with the curious boy from the deep.

  Excellent! Had a fantastic Sunset Whale tour today Wow!! Whale stayed with us close & personal for at least 1 hour lots of Muggling, rolling, slapping and tail slapping, I have been on many Whales trips & have never had a Whale encounter like this one would highly recommend. Staff were very inviting, knowledgeable & so friendly

  What a wonderful experience. We did the whales and sunset tour. The sunset did not perform but the whales were amazing. We saw 3 different groups of 2 whales. The first 2 - large whales performed fabulously - lots of whale tails and flukes slapping. They played hide and seek, and came close to the boat when we turned the engines off. Saw 2 other groups, including a mother and calf, but they were not as keen to perfom. Visited some of the bays around Magnetic Island on the way back - great rocks and landscape. Nice afternoon tea and good commentry.

• We have been able to see whales up close 😍

  The tour was quite bumpy but it was like I was on a fairground ride 😁. The icing on the cake of my stay on Magnetic Island was the encounter with the whales, sooo special and these people know exactly where to look 🔍 Then I saw a tour of the island and parts that I definitely want to visit later! We enjoyed a nice bag of coffee with some treats, all very relaxing! Of course the sunset could not be missed ❤️ Thank you so much to the friendly guidance for this day unforgettable tour!
