💯 must-do in Brisbane! - If you skip this trip, you're missing out on one of the most breathtaking sights your eyes will ever witness. Skipper and her crew are absolute legends; professional, warm, and make you feel completely looked after from start to finish. This journey left me with a sense of inner peace that no words can truly capture. All I can say you have to experience it to understand. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this is the magical escape you didn’t know you needed. The added wow factor was rain and hale combined with breath taking views and the sounds of the gentle Whales as they floated by the boat. Truly magical to witness.

Natures ultimate experience - What an amazing adventure for a first time whale watcher. To have the experience of a whale breaching so close to the boat with other pods around was purely breathtaking.

Fabulous trip, amazing creatures - We went as a family group with a toddler (under 3’s are free), the boat is clean and the crew were welcoming. It was a breezy day but after an hour sailing out of the bay the whales started to appear. We probably saw at least 6-8 different whales, some in 2’s and they performed magnificently alongside the boat. It was thrilling every time they kept from the water. We didn’t pay extra for VIP (seats next to the window, or more if you sit upstairs) but you can see perfectly well around the boat and even in the middle seats. The chicken salad lunch wasn’t bad either. I’d recommend this trip and hope to do it again soon.

An amazing trip - A great day very well organised, Picked up near hotel in downtown Brisbane and taken straight to waiting boat, once on board all was well prepared. The trip out was good with lots to see and a lovely commentary, when we reached the whales you could feel the enthusiasm of the captain and crew as well as there knowledge an love for the whales. The sights were amazing with family pods coming close to the boat, breaching whales and lots happening all around. The lunch was nice and the coach ready to take us back to the city when we arrived back at the jetty.

Once in a lifetime experience - The whale watching cruise was superb. The boat is very comfortable and the crew are friendly and helpful. We saw a mother and baby whale and a pod of 5 bulls. The whales performed all of their tricks - flapping the tail, rolling over and waving, breeching and diving under the boat. Captain Kerry is very experienced and knowledgable. She spotted the whales from a distance and cruised slowly with them. Recommend the Premium tickets which includes a window table with 6 comfortable chairs inside the middle deck. A once in a lifetime experience.

Top whale watching experience - Really professional and friendly crew. Very well set up - you could see the whales clearly from all the seating. The lunch provided was excellent. Both chicken salad and fruit box were more than ample. I use a walking stick and the crew were very helpful in assisting me when required. Thank you very much for that it was much appreciated. We had a party of eight, including children and everyone had a really great experience. I would definitely recommend this tour if you are in brisbane. Thanks everyone for a great day

- From the time of booking to being dropped off by Ray in Brisbane this was a pleasurable experience from start to finish. And got to see numerous pods of Whales.

Sadly it felt very intrusive and human-centric and was not the “eco” animal viewing experience I was expecting. - I’ve got to be honest, I booked this because I love whales and prefer viewing wildlife in a wild environment with minimal disturbance from humans. From a person who loves animals, the viewing was close and clear. However, it felt like it was verging on intrusive as the boat was manoeuvred right up to the whales with the main focus on getting good views for the customers rather than respecting these wild animals during an important time of the year. Compared to whale watching practices in Canada, I really don’t understand how this cruise is classified as an eco tour. If I could have gotten off the boat early, I would have.
