A great day - We were lucky with the weather. It was a perfect day. There were a lot of pods of whales, not so much action on the surface. However, due to our excellent guide on the boat we were able to get close to some families with the calves trying their breaching skills. I learned more about whales in a couple of hours than I had ever known, down to how repeat whale visitors to the Bay can be identified.

Very interesting and enjoyable whale watching tour - Really enjoyable tour. Staff were all very friendly and informative about the whales in the bay, they clearly had a lot of knowledge of and passion for these whales. Water provided throughout as well as some tea/coffee/snacks. In terms of seeing whales, the day started a little slowly for us but really picked up towards the end as an adult whale breached the water right in front of us.

Amazing…… - I’ve never seen so many whales in one place. It was like watching tennis, having to look back and forwards. Saw dolphins and flying tuna too! The staff are amazing on this outing

Nature in all its beauty - A great half day with friendly knowledgeable staff, and tasty freshly made toasted sandwiches. So many graceful whales and one who gave a closeup display of power.

Special whale watching event - My daughter and I had a enjoyable time whale watching. We saw multiple pods and, in spite of the swell, did not feel unwell. The crew were friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable and helpful. A very special outing to see whales.

Just… fantastic! - What a truly great morning out! We were very lucky to see a lot of active whales breaching, fin slapping, tail slapping and generally having a great time in the bay. Lots of mums and calves at this time of the season. Also a great look at the pristine beaches on K’gari. The commentary provided was great and there were plenty of snacks provided throughout the morning if you could tear yourself away from the whales!

Great commentary, good crew, 10/10 whale watching experience - Great experience! Seeing the various behaviour of the whales was 10/10. It helped to have a great crew on board. Specifically the commentator; she was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, clear and concise. Her passion for whales shone through and made the experience that much better.
