Great whale watching in Noosa Heads area - Great smallish boat whale watching with knowledgable hosts, Albie and Peppie, who communicated their love and enthusiasm and respect for the whales very well. Sightings can never be guaranteed but we saw 6 adults and calves and were able to hear them communicating underwater. Definitely recommended. I will go again next time I'm in Noosa at the right time of year.

A Soulful Experience - I can’t recommend this whale watching experience enough! The tour was beyond our expectations. Not only did we come up close with the beautiful giants of the ocean, we also had the most soulful guides who imparted both wisdom and knowledge, leaving us all with a day we will never forget.

Magical encounter - Seeing dolphin pods escorting pairs of humpback whales, and hearing the whale songs from an underwater microphone. It was magical.

A whale of an experience!! - We had 3 whales with us from Noosa Heads Beach after we motored out of the river, for the whole trip. These whales met up with dolphins and other whales and even swam under us. Mugging or hugging? Very knowledgeable guides. Thank you Pepe and Albi. A great experience.

Experience of a Lifetime! - Had an absolutely fantastic experience with Captain Albie and first mate Peppie! We throughly enjoyed the experience from start to finish. We had the joy of not alone witnessing but also hearing such an array of whales and dolphins. We also seen a mother and calf. The tour operators are so passionate and knowledgeable. The boat itself is on the smaller side which my husband and I loved as there was only a small group of 10 of us and it was so personal. However, smaller boat does mean bigger rocks. Some of our fellow passengers didn’t fair so well on the sea! It was an absolutely incredible and memorable moment to watch / hear these massive mammals up close. Thank you both for such an incredible experience.

Once in a lifetime - We had the absolute pleasure of going out to meet a number of very friendly, very playful whales with Albie and Whale Songs. This was a once in a lifetime experience. The whale researcher onboard also added a fantastic insight into the whale behaviours that we were lucky enough to witness. Absolutely amazing.

Magnificent whales - We had a fantastic morning with Captain Albie & First Mate Peppie. Peppie was very knowledgeable and extremely passionate, sharing interesting facts of whale life. We were blessed in seeing these magnificent creatures and their calf. Having only 10 people onboard is a bonus. Highly recommend and we will definitely go again next year.

Fantastic Noosa experience - We went out with Alby & Peppie today and had the most wonderful morning. We were in close proximity to several humpbacks for most of our trip. We learnt heaps from Peppie, a long time Noosa local, whose knowledge and love of whales and dolphins is very apparent. We also heard some of their singing. It was a very memorable time and what a fabulous way to spend a morning in Noosa enjoying the sea, the wonderful coastline views, in the company of such majestic animals. I highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting Noosa - it is fun for all ages. Our group had kids aged 10, 12, 16 and all enjoyed it. Not often that you can find things equally appealing and engaging for children and adults. Thank you so much Alby & Peppie !!!
