The guide was well informed and helped us to identify where the whales were and what their actions meant. Seeing the whales themselves was a very profound experience.

Several whales were located, but the boat was so overcrowded we only managed to get brief glimpses of them in-between the backs of other peoples heads and shoulders. The outdoor areas of the boat were only small so it was a fight to get an unobstructed view. I think the boat is maybe more appropriate for ‘people carrying’ and transport rather than whale watching. It’s a shame but I probably wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re tall and happy to fight for a good view.

The Boat Skipper and crew were very helpful. The Mother and calf Humpback were amazing as they put on a fantabulous show for us.

It was all good except Parking. Lucky to got it on time otherwise we would have missed the boat. Overall whale watching experience was amazing.

AnneSally_L

nothing memorable as my head was buried in the bag throughout the journey. The nausea was hopeless. All 4 of us on the vessel experienced extreme nausea.

Courtesy taxi from our Perth hotel was excellent. We pre booked from UK. Staff warned us on the day it’d be very rough and offered to change our day. I asked if it was a good day for whales. Answer, yes. We went and very glad we did. Two close whales tail slapping near the boat. Lots of distant breaches. Very good value. Excellent boat and staff.

We absolutely loved our trip! We had whales breaching, and flapping, and we saw tails. It was a fantastic trip!! Would do it again!
