Fantastic family day out with a great team

5.00Absolutely best whale watching trip we have ever been on. The boat was the perfect size to feel close to the whales and Alex and Rex were an excellent team, very informative. We saw probably 20+ individual humpback whales, and were able to follow a pod of 5 for some time. They swam so close to the boat we could hear them breathe. At one point they swam right under the boat. Alex and Rex were taking pictures the whole time, including with an underwater 360° camera; they shared all of them with us at the end of the day. This enabled us to just enjoy watching the whales and being around them without stressing about taking our own cameras. Overall an excellent day out, and we would definitely recommend to anyone.

5.00Overall first class on terms of seeing whales. Guide was a nice person ie pleasant and jovial but quality of commentary wasn’t great. It wasn’t funny or interesting 1/10. I think guiding could have been much much better.
Fantastic
