Amazing experience! - I can’t recommend this tour enough - it was amazing from start to finish! The boat is super comfortable and fast so gets you out to the whales really quickly. The team is friendly and extremely knowledgeable giving lots of awesome facts about the whales. We saw so many humpbacks it was breathtaking to see them in their natural habit - and you could see them from anywhere on the boat! 10/10 will be coming back every year!

Kokomo cruise the best on the Gold Coast - Highly recommend this well run family business. We had an amazing time. The purpose built boat afforded a close up experience and the staff were informative and attentive.

Loads of whales and dolphins - We had a great day out. Its a great boat with expert commentary and we saw plenty of whales. We even came across a huge pod of dolphins on the way back.

The cruise you want to choose - We attended a cruise with the crew today (28/7/25) and it was nothing short of perfect. We followed a pod of whales in a beautifully clean, intimate boat which didn’t feel overcrowded, lots of room to move around while still getting close, but maintaining respect for the whales. The crew were constantly providing whale facts and information but never in a nuisance way. The boat was very stable, the route and results were nothing short of exactly what you would want to see and feel on a whale experience. Photos were taken by me today

Lovely experience with whales, and kind friendly staff. - We liked the smaller boat, as you could see out either side & it didn’t feel like too many people onboard.

- Fabulous tour, very well run with clear directions. Skipper Nick was very informative and knowledgeable about the whales, respectful of their environment and had a lovely gentle manner. He genuinely seemed as excited as us to see the Whales! His crew mate Francesca was also lovely. Super new boat, comfy seating, enough room for everyone to have a good view of the whales. Would thoroughly recommend this tour, we loved it. Pleased to support a small family run business too!

Have a whale of a time on the Gold Coast, Queensland with this great tour operator. - Very well run tour with knowledgeable and helpful skipper and crew. Excellent boat just three years old and perfect for great viewing of the whales. Even on a relatively calm day if you are prone to sea sickness, take your tablets well before the cruise. Plenty of playful whales to enjoy along with excellent commentary. I highly recommend this tour.

Whale Watching - An amazing experience seeing the whales up close. Fran and Nick were fantastic at sharing their knowledge and looking after everyone onboard. Can’t thank them enough for their kindness and care when experiencing sea sickness, absolute gems!
