5.00A 2 hour cruise that finished up being nearly 3. We just wouldn't run out of whales from the time we exited the harbour. A well set up comfortable boat with a friendly informative crew. I've been whale watching in Canada/Alaska and Norway with a net sighting of two whales. I gave up counting today's encounters. Lots of blowing and porpoising, fin flapping and a grand finale show of tail slapping. A great trip for half the price of overseas failures.

5.00Within the first 20 minutes we felt like we had had our money’s worth. The staff and the commentary were amazing and we had the most incredible tale-slapping, flipper-waving grand finale. Highly recommend.
A Truly Magical Experience

5.00Our whale watching tour with Naturaliste Charters in Augusta was unforgettable. We were lucky enough to witness a juvenile whale playfully flapping its tail for nearly 10 minutes—an absolutely mesmerizing sight! The onboard marine biologist and crew were fantastic—knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and quick to point out sightings so we didn’t miss a moment. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting the area!

5.00These people are organised and professional. Safety is to a high standard. The staff are friendly and very knowledgeable. I was so impressed I went back within a week. They know where to go and taking the whales safety into consideration they provided us with some beautiful whale action. I am planning my next couple of trips. They also provide great photos of your day so you can relax and watch the show.
