Fabulous day - What a fabulous day we had. The Captain Kerry is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the whales. We were lucky to see a pod of 5 whales who came right up to the boat and gave a fabulous performance. The whole crew are great. We were in the ViP lounge and felt it was worth the extra, we had really good views. Lunch was included which was a boxed meat salad and a complementary drink. Souvenirs were also on sale and reasonably priced. A great day all round on a fabulous boat with a great captain and crew. Definitely recommend - 10/10

Brisbane Whalewatching are the best! - Where does one start...... From the outset this company demonstrated pure professionalism in our dealings with them. Excellent communication and an experience second to none. The whales were out in force and put on a fantastic display. An informative commentary added to the overall experience. The lunch provided was first class as was the service from all crew members. We can't recommend this experience enough!

Amazing! Will go again. - It was amazing! The crew was friendly, the ship was lovely, and the organization of the whole trip was excellent. However, the real stars are the beautiful whales! It was magical.

Gorgeous scenery and magnificent whales - Great and informative commentary. Beautiful boat and friendly crew. Nice lunch but we would suggest more choices for beverages and more of them.

Wow! - An amazing trip and absolutely worth every cent. We were privileged to watch a female Humpback Whale and her calf swim around for about an hour and a half. The crew were extremely knowledgeable which made for a very interesting voyage. We also saw dolphins and several turtles off Moreton Islands. We loved it so much that we are giving our daughters vouchers for a cruise for Christmas.

LOVELY EXPERIENCE FOR ALL AGES - The staff are amazing; really friendly and knowledgeable. The vessel is well looked after, clean & plenty of room to move around. It's airconditioned & seating is comfortable. There are many places, indoors & outdoors with different levels for optimum views. We bought the package that included a little picnic lunch of Chicken & ham slices, potato salad w/ roast pumpkin green salad. In a separate container were fresh slices of in season fruits; watermelon, Strawberry, orange, honey dew & rockmelon. All the food was delicious. They also sell a small variety of cold & hot beverages & pkt plain potato chips. They have a small range of memorabilia to buy. It's nearing the end of the season, though we were lucky to see a mother whale & her calf who appeared to be just as interested in us, as we all were of them. They happily frolicked around the boat. As we made our way out, there was a pod of Dolphins off in the distance. While we were out near Moreton Island, a couple of turtles swam by. We recommend doing this tour. It really was a pleasant day.

Understand animals are at home... - Nice experience, whales are obviously at home living their lives so don't expect them to "pose" for your pictures. Overall just tails and some dolphins around. It completely depends on luck 🤞🍀.
