1.00Queensland's gold coast in overcrowded, scruffy and overrated. So many better places to holiday in Australia. Lots of hi rise buildings--no longer a holiday town the Gold Coast has become just another big city.
Awesome experience

5.00Brilliant tour - felt like we were on the quickest and best boat on the water. Our skipper Nick put us in all the best spots to see and learn about all the wildlife. Saw heaps of whales, dolphins and turtles. Great morning activity!

5.00Had a great day with friendly staff. Saw a few whales and a couple of babies playing with mum. Only wish was a few more whales to see but it is the luck of the draw if they want to come up for us and visit

5.00We had the most incredible experience whale watching with Kokomo Cruises on the Gold Coast! From the moment we boarded, the crew made us feel welcome. The boat was spacious, comfortable, and offered fantastic viewing spots from every angle. Within no time we were out on the water and surrounded by whales – breaching, tail slapping, and even coming right up close to the boat. It was such a magical experience, and the crew’s knowledge and commentary made it even more special. You could tell they genuinely care about the whales and about giving everyone on board the best possible time. The whole trip was run with so much professionalism, passion, and respect for the ocean. If you’re looking for an unforgettable whale watching experience on the Gold Coast, I couldn’t recommend Kokomo Cruises highly enough. Absolutely five stars – a must-do!
Fantastic whale watching experience

5.00We had a fantastic time whale watching, saw several pods of Humpbacks including a mother and calf. Nick was really knowledgeable and answered any questions we had. Boat itself was just the right size to give everyone a good view and a great overall experience.
Breathtaking!

4.00The skipper didn’t get close enough to the whales I have seen other vessels right at the whales we seen some whales not a lot they were not breaching at all I think it’s because it was late afternoon and they were tired from doing this all day I recomend you do the early tours in the day but other than that I really enjoyed my trip
