Awesome boat trip to see Whales. A must see! - OMG, what an amazing trip. Tbh we were worried we wouldn't see much as this was one of the last trips if the season. But we were not disappointed. Once we had reached the migration lanes out in the open sea, just the other side of Moreton Island, we were able to see two groups of whales up close; a mum and her calf and then a another mum, her calf and an escorting Aunty. The boat cut it's engines and we just floated around for about 90 -120 mins watch this absolutely amazing spectacle. The whales seem to love the interaction with the boat and one of the calves became very playful in the water. The boat 'Eye-Spy' is lovely, very comfortable. There is a bar on board serving hot & cold drinks and snacks. We paid a little bit extra for a window table on the main deck, so we could eat the lovely lunch (included in the ticket price) and still see the whales outside. But you can move up to the middle and top decks for open air viewing at any time. The boat can hold 300 people, but we were lucky yesterday as the boat only had about 130 on board, so plenty of space to move around and get a great view of the whales from any of the decks. The staff are brilliant, very helpful and clearly love their jobs. The commentary during the whale watching was very interesting and informative. It all felt very personal, even though it wasn't. I can highly recommend this trip and although the season is now sadly over, it should be top of anyone's list to do next year, when the whale migration season starts again in May.

What a whale of an experience! - Every year I shout my Sister a Brisbane Whale Watching ticket for her birthday. We love going on our beautiful ocean to see the majestic whales every year, and it never disappoints. The crew on "Eye Spy" are so friendly and Capt. Kerry so knowledgeable regarding the whales. We just love doing this every year.

A special day out with my family - What a fabulous day out! Immaculate boat, friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating staff, a delicious and healthy lunch and lovely calm waters, perfect for watching the stars of the show. We were so privileged to have a mum and her calf hang out with us for over an hour. She was so trusting and to get such a close up encounter in a calm environment was amazing. To then get a visit from another mum, aunty and calf was just the icing on the cake. Highly recommend!

Great Trip - Awesome experience. We were worried we may not see any whales as it is late in the season, but we saw heaps. Well worth doing. The boat and toilets we also extremely clean. Strongly recommend it, we will go again next year.

A must do when in Brisbane - A unforgettable day out with Brisbane Whale Watching. We saw a mother and her calf numerous times and we even got to see a juvenile male breach out of the water several times. In addition to this we saw turtles and dolphins. The food was excellent and catered to an allergy in the group with an alternative. Couldn’t recommend this trip enough and a must do when in the area.

Amazing experience! - We had such a wonderful time on this whale watching tour! We got to see whales, dolphins, and even some turtles — it was absolutely amazing. The small lunch served on board was really nice, and the captain was super friendly and welcoming. Everything was well organized, and the whole experience felt relaxed and enjoyable.
