    Had a great day out. Saw many Mummas and their calves. A few breaching whales and lots of big tail slaps. Lunch is supplied and very fresh. Always love a day out whale watching with Brisbane Whale Watching Redcliffe. Crew and extremely knowledgeable and Captain Kerry is awesome.

    It was our first whale watching and we were lucky to have multiple viewings and close encounters! The whole team was great and commentary was excellent. Loved how the team had ensured to make the boat whale friendly and whales were not afraid to come close.

  • Don’t miss this experience!
