Never seen whales in their natural habitat so this was an amazing experience !The crew were knowledgeable and took us where they could be spotted and what a treat! Also saw dolphins swimming alongside the boat! A must do!

We were lucky to have a great sunny winters morning, and even in late July we saw around 7 whales, some up close. Friendly staff and as the catamaran was only half full, it was easy to move around to see the whales

Great trip. Lee and the driver and Max the whale spotting dog were excellent - professional and fun and me and my son (12 yo) had a really good time. We saw lots of whales and it was amazing having them come close to the boat. The trip was re-scheduled but Lee kept in contact via text and made it easy to change our plans to still make the tour.

The Experience was breathtaking, with multiple sightings it was none stop enjoyment. The owner and captain were absolutely second to none. The Experience even included my 11yr old son getting to drive the boat. To say it is highly recommend is an understatement. Thank you

This is my 2nd trip this season with Whale Watch. Lee, (owner), Evan (skipper) and MAC the silky terrier are an absolute delight, very knowledgeable and took us to where the whales are. The catamaran was very comfortable, I like that the numbers are capped at 23, so everyone gets a chance to move around easily. We had perfect weather yesterday and my family from Ireland were absolutely enthralled when they saw whales, mums, dads, calves jumping, playing, breaching and generally having fun in the water. These majestic animals are so big and graceful in the water. Evan was able to have us within the safe distance of them and we watched them swim along parallel to our boat for quite some time. Everyone must do this when they visit Coffs Harbour. Say HI to MAC the silky terrier, who is the best whale spotter out there!! Thanks guys. I'll be back next year for sure.

Even though there were only two of us booked for the day trip they still took us out. Staff were amazing. We loved Mac the whale spotting dog!! You literally have to do it to believe how good the day is 🥰

Very rough seas the swell was breaking, people vomiting. It should have been cancelled due to conditions. My son held a bucket to his face grinned and bore it until we got back. Saw a whale spout 8miles away. It was like expensive sea sickness torture. Recommend checking the weather for yourself. They have the experience and know-how and should have called it off. From the minute we crossed the breakwall it was relentless. It was a relief to return. Sunday 17th of July
