Magical day out with the whales and dolphins - Magical day out seeing the whales up close and even witnessing a breach high out of the water right beside our boat. Really knowledgeable and friendly crew who provided a wealth of information about the whale migration. Also got to see a large pod of dolphins who followed us home.

A 'Whale' of a Time! - Albie and Peppie are absolute gems! Their boat took us right up close to quite a few whales mothers and their calves, always keeping a safe distance of course. But what magnificant creatures they are! The wonder and awe that Albie and Peppie still have for these animals after all these years comes across in everything they do. We were blessed to see dolphins alongside the whales and we enjoyed flying over the waves on the boat! Everyone should go on a trip with Whalesong!

Fantastic family experience with passionate and professional crew! - It was a wonderfull trip! We took 1:30 pm trip on a beautiful sunny day with calm sea. We encountered a pod of dolphins on the way to the open sea. The Whale Songs crew shared interesting facts about them and dropped a hydrophone into the water. We were able to hear dolphins' clicks and whale sounds in the background. Later we encountered a couple of adult whales and later a couple with a "baby" whale. Crew stretched the trip a little so we could have a better look at these incredible animals. Thanks Whale Songs for creating a beautiful memory for our family.

Close up with beautiful humpback whales - We were prepared for there to be no whales, and to just enjoy a boat ride on this trip, but we saw multiple whales - four, maybe more - on this short trip. We enjoyed the knowledge of our guides, and a very experienced captain who took us very close to the whales. A major life experience ticked off. This was a small group, and we felt very safe. The whole family enjoyed it. Highly recommended.

Majestic - Lots of mum & their calf’s seen - We took the 8-10am cruise - if you have kids give them quells 1 hour before leaving & have brekkie. It was VERY rough on way out - kids were terrified ! We saw so many whales - majestic ! Best time ! Peppie was so insightful & my 8yo loved all the whale facts 🐳

Fantastic whale watching! - We had a great morning with Pep and Albie…very friendly and lots of info about the whales, we were lucky enough to follow a mum and calf, and the calf swam right behind our boat! They allowed us to stay a little longer to enjoy the experience👍

Fabulous trip! - Superb crew with fantastic knowledge of the ocean, coastline and marine life. Although we didn't see any whales as they were returning later than usual this year, we saw a huge group of dolphins right up close to the boat playing in the waves. Thoroughly enjoyable trip
