Whale Mother and calves - Amazing whale watching with multiple mother and calves flipping their tails and throwing an incredible show creating a memorable experience of a lifetime. Would love to come back again sometime in September and October to see even more calves. Captain Wayne and the crew has been incredibly amazing and knowledgeable and gave a crash course on everything about whales, truly amazing and worth the trip.

Great time - Really enjoyed the cruise. The food was delicious and there was plenty of it. Staff were wonderful and friendly and helpful to the elderly who needed a steadying hand, without having to be asked. Captain was great with knowledge of the area and the homes of some of the rich and infamous. All in all a really good time. One of the best features was the pre-allocated seating. No trying to be first in line to get a good seat. Fabulous idea! Will go again when next in the area.

Fabulous time - perfect day - Chose to go on the lunch cruise for a belated birthday present for my mum. 4 Adults and 1 child. Beautiful spot next to the window although there are options to sit upstairs on the deck too. Bar available with cocktails. beer, wine etc pricing is regular Prosecco $66 per bottle. Food was lovely - simplistic but great. Mussels, prawns, ham and chicken. Garden salad, pasta salad and coleslaw. Bread rolls and pavlovas for dessert. Staff were great. Nothing too much trouble. Provided our son with a colouring kit too. Thoroughly enjoyed this day - perfect weather and gorgeous experience

Gold Coast tour average - The captain and crew of this Sea World Cruises tour were very friendly. The captain provided a lot of information about the Gold Coast, its origins, and how it came to be what it is today. Overall, the buffet was average. The cruise was average. I would have to say the tour as a whole was average. Would I do it again? No. It was a new way to look at Gold Coast from the waterways without the traffic. It was also a good way to fill your day if you wanted something to do but didn't know what.
