This was the most amazing up close encounter with humpback whales that I have ever experienced. The crew were informative, welcoming & went above & beyond my expectations to ensure that we had a fantastic day. The whales were so inquisitive, they surrounded us & put on an amazing performance. The food was endless & delicious. This was a day to remember forever.

Wow!! What a day! A fabulous trip, Peter and Cassey welcomed us onto the boat and gave so much information about what to expect and the different types of whales. They were realistic about the possibility of not seeing any whales but kept us informed through out. We did however have a spectacular day seeing 9 humpbacks at one time. The beauty of the small boat is its ability to calmly wait and allow the whales to come and explore around it. A limited number of passengers on board meant you could move around the vessel easily without getting in other people’s photos. The snacks and buffet were amazing . Well worth the money.

I've been on a few whale watch tours but this is by far the best! Smaller boat and fewer people gets you closer to these majestic giants. The respect these guides show for all the sea life is beautiful. The best day ever!

The best trip we’ve done in Australia! Seeing the whales was amazing and we learnt so much about them and their behaviour during the day. We saw so many whales! We were so lucky to watch a mother bring her calf right up to the boat, and saw another pair breaching for about twenty minutes. It was amazing. The crew were wonderful and have such a passion for these creatures. There were so many snacks throughout the day and lunch was 10/10. It was worth the extra money to have more time on the water to see so many whales, which are clearly thriving in this marine park. Having a smaller group was great so you could get a good view and get to know others on the trip. Highly recommend, don’t hesitate to book.
