A never to be forgotten Experience - Absolutely brilliant! Our Marine Biologist, Gabby was knowledgeable and shared her knowledge and experience making the tour memorable and fascinating. Plenty of whales, breaches, a baby whale and baby dolphin.! We learnt so much about humpback whales in a short period of time. Thank you Angus for welcoming us aboard and for for sailing us safely.

ONCE IN A LIFETIME EXPERIENCE. WOW!! - An experience of a lifetime. We saw whales breaching and tail slapping. 3 inquisitive whales approached the boat and spy hopped and floated and swam around us...the oceanscape is amazing as is the outline of the coast from Ballina to Lennox to Byron Bay... just being out to sea is an adventure let alone the whales, sea and birdlife. The Skipper Angus and Marine Biologist Gabrielle were professional, knowledgeable,fun and ensured everyone enjoyed the spectacle of being out with the humpback whales. Don't think about it just go!

Good trip - Ride out of Brunswick Heads marina was a thrilling one due to heavy swell & high waves coming at us! Well done skipper we enjoyed that! Saw pods of dolphins just after marina. That was a lovely surprise. Out to Julian Rock site. Lots of fish, turtles, some harmless sharks all pointed out by our knowledgeable guides Gabby & Geanne who looked after everyone well & kept us all safely away from the rocks in the currents. 1hr in water was plenty. Surfed the waves back into marina. A good trip.

Amazing experience with incredible sightings - I've had great snorkelling experiences on the Great Barrier Reef, Tasmania and South Australia but hands down, this was the best by far. The Out Of The Blue Crew were very professional, knowledgeable and super friendly. The experience itself was something to behold, I felt blessed to see an array of leopard sharks, a leopard ray, stunning fish and all three turtles - green, loggerhead and hawksbill. It was truly a phenomenonal day and one I'll treasure. I would highly recommend this tour and will be back with my son to do it again soon.
