Fantastic day out and experience at Brisbane Whale Watch today!!! We saw several pods of Humpback Whales and they stayed around/with us for well over an hour, which was just amazing!!! The boat, staff and lunch/service were all awesome too and with a fair sense of humour to go with it!!! The best day of our holiday without a doubt!!! 🇦🇺🐋🐋🐋🇦🇺

I was picked up from an inner city hotel (super convenient), by a friendly and funny bus driver - Ray. Ray drove us safely to Redcliffe, and we boarded the 'Eye Spy' catamaran. Fantastic boat, voyage and crew. The captain-Kerri, was incredibly informative and was also able to let us know where the pods of whales (and some dolphins) were. It was honestly one of the most memorable experiences, and I cannot recommend everyone involved highly enough - Viator for help with the booking, Ray on the bus, and the Eye Spy team. Thanks again for a fantastic day out.
