From booking the tour at 7.30am for a 7.45 departure was faultless and the office/customer facing experience was great. From being checked onto the boat by Pete and the crew and the cruise was a great experience. The commentary by the skipper was informative and the snacks and lunch was well worth the trip. We would recommend the whale watching experience to anyone and they would not be disappointed

Great cruise and plenty of whales spotted as well as turtles. The boat is a good size and not over crowded. The food on the way out and the return trip with a bar was a good way to end the trip. The staff are super friendly and I'll return next season.

Amazing day out with a fantastic company. The boat was top notch, food, refreshments and commentary excellent, not to mention the whales who put on a fantastic show for us. Highly recommended

What a fabulous company! Friendly, accommodating and sooooo knowledgeable. So many whales and amazingly close up. Not overcrowded , could move around the boat easily.

Brilliant experience - we were on the final tour of the season so I was worried we wouldn't e see any whales, but we spotted several mums and their calves. The commentary throughout the trip was engaging and enlightening. Would love to go again during peak season. The boat seemed very packed when we boarded, but everyone had a chance to see the whales each time some were spotted. The lunch was great too!

What an absolute pleasure this cruise was! The crew were so lovely particularly the bar person who was so accommodating even hand delivering the kids their 2 minute noddles while we enjoyed a beverage on the deck. The vessel was very comfortable and accessible for my child with some mobility / balance issues. The captain did an amazing job finding pods for us to view. Breakfast and morning tea was lovely and kept the nibbles away. Would highly recommend to others and absolutely go again. In fact I met two locals on board who are regulars on their ship as their preferred tour and vessel in the region! Can’t go pass a local recommendation! **accessibility: One of the better small vessels for accessibility, ramps all through the lower deck, not sure a standard wheelchair would be able to fit through the walkway from stern to bow though. Access to level 2 and 3 has stairs. Toilet has hand rail but is the usual low marine seat, would not fit a chair.

This was a wonderful cruise. The boat was the perfect size for us - not huge but big enough to move around in. I have some mobility issues and it was very easy. The staff were all brilliant, very helpful, very happy and knowledgeable. The captain gave very detailed information where and when appropriate and managed to avoid trying to make jokes or dubious analogies. He spoke to us when necessary and left us in peace the rest of the time. A good lunch and an extra surprise bonus for those of us who booked directly! My only complaint was that the music was too loud - why do we even need music? I mentioned it to one of the crew and it was turned down immediately and they checked to see if grumpy old me was satisfied. Great work and lots of whales.

Was a great afternoon relaxing on the very comfortable boat. The weather was a bit rough but everyone enjoyed the trip. Plenty of mother and calf whales to be sighted. The captain was very knowledgeable about the whales which added to the experience. The food, drinks and service by all staff was brilliant.
