Epic Whale Adventure - Such an incredible experience — definitely a 10/10! We loved that it was a smaller group, it made everything feel more personal and relaxed. The boat was super unique (in the best way!) and our guide was so knowledgeable and friendly. And we got the most amazing whale show.. truly unforgettable!

An exciting morning - We had a brilliant time on this boat -our guide/captain was charming very capable and did everything he could to find whales. We had a magic experience with the whales especially an inquisitive mother and calf who swam all around our boat. It is effectively the end of the season but our captain found plenty of whales. Also the tour along the coast and the trip out and in were delightful. Highly recommended this trip which was very reasonably priced

Good value whale watching trip - and only a short boat ride away. - We did a 0930 whale watch tour. Saw plenty of mums cruising with their calves, and were lucky enough to see one tail feeding. Also saw a spectacular breach as well. Well run tour, good commentary, comfortable boat and only 12 pax. Highly recommend!!!
Plan on doing this as an annual trip.

Whale watching with Noosa Thriller - Fantastíc experience whalewatching with Noosa Thriller. We were fortunate to have a beautiful encounter with a Mumma whale and calf who were both active with breaching and pec slaps. Then another two younger whales. The boat ride itself was also an adventure, jumping the waves. Double the fun. Thank you for a lovely experience.
