Brilliant whale watching experience - The staff were so friendly and helpful. We got lost trying to find where to board, yet they called us to find out where we were and waited for us.
The experience on-board was excellent as well. They shared their knowledge about whales while also ensuring we all saw every whale, dolphin and turtle.

Fab afternoon watching whales - Great day out, sea was pretty calm and we saw multiple groups of whales. The staff were very informative and often moved the boat so we could get closer to the whales. We also saw a large turtle swimming up to the boat. Would definitely recommend this tour.

Happy sight 😊 - Great to be able to spot the whale 🐳. It was even great to see baby whale playing on the surface, flipping and waving at us. I just wish we saw more....

Crowded during holidays. - It was way over crowded. The shops and restaurants were okay, but very commercial. Might be worth the trip when it's not holidays, but I think there are far nicer places to visit on the Sunshine Coast.

If only we came earlier in the year! - Nice day out friendly crew and good boat. Unfortunately we knew it was towards the end of the season but the guarantee we could see whales or rebook meant we took a risk unfortunately it didn’t pay off we didn’t see anything other than a few dolphin dorsal fins. We tried to rebook but the other trips have now been cancelled so we have vouchers to come again from the other side of the world but will unfortunately be unlikely to afford the flights again 🤣🤦♀️ Id say if there’s whales this would be great but late in the season as a visitor it’s an expensive gamble unfortunately

Good - Nice cruise, we could only see whales from a very far distance, but we did see some! Which was good! Hotdogs advertised day before but none available to buy on the day.
