Your new best friend in Albany

5.00Jack has a knowledge of the history of Albany and the Kalgan River… linked to the present, presented in a warm, humorous and super- friendly conversational manner. Pelicans and eagles come right up to the boat and fly down to meet it as it moves along. Perfect for wildlife photography. Jack is easy to understand even for the hard of hearing.
Entertaining, scenic, interesting, relaxing tour with Captain Jack

5.00Captain Jack has you covered with, geography, history, birdology, some anecdotes, a cuppa and a homemade damper bread at the halfway mark and some fresh oysters if you’re a fan. The highlight: Jack keeps a supply of fish on board for a variety of birds of prey and his adopted pelican who accompanies the Kalgan Queen as she returns to port at Emu point. Would recommend.
A great boat trip

5.00A must do boat trip. Very knowledgeable and funny trip guide. Lots of Birds to photograph even though the day was pouring with rain. Was also treated to damper bread and tea, honey and strawberries. 4 hours well spent and for those that need it a toilet in the corner of the boat. Would highly recommend.

5.00During the relaxing, nature filled scenic cruise, Jack gave a very informative narrative on Albany's rich history, current life style and it's future. Jack has a way with words that is entertaining and informative. He has a wonderful sense of humour that had everyone engaged and laughing. Both the damper (made by Jack's mom) and tea were delicious. A must do in Albany!!
Pelicans, eagles, egrets and more!

Capitan Jack one man show

5.00Jack is the best Capitan I ever had cruise with. He is like a wonderful actor in one man show. He explained so many things about various of topics: birds, stingrays, seegrass, Albany, local history, etc etc You will not have a chance to get bored with him. If you like poetry he will declare some poems. Its all interactive. It is really the best ever cruise. Thank Jack. You made our day.
Well spent four hours....
