Loved it!
Can’t speak highly enough, from start to finish was a seamless experience - the staff were organised, super friendly and the whales performed beautifully for us. Will add this to our visitor experience list for when friends and family join us in Sydney - thank you!

Awesome
Loved the experience. The crew was amazing and very accommodating. The ride was rough but very exciting. Lucky to see a whale fin waving multiple times while following it. It seemed to wave goodbye with its tail a few times as we were leaving. The rough water made it one of the most scary but most exhilarating experience of my life. Sea sickness is real as my child lost the day to this so motion meds is a must for some people. But all in all a whole lot of fun. I would go again myself just for the crazy ride. Hold on haha. If you happen to follow a whale it will blow your mind. As the driver says, he can't control the whales but will follow a whale for as long as he can before the trip has to end.

Great Experience once in lifetime
It was one of our greatest Experience of life time with Whale watching cruise. The entire team was very very cooperative and extremely helpful. The Pilot was very nice and enthusiastic to make it even better. Enjoyed to see many whales for the first time in life being so close to us. Best wishes to all of you and Cheers 🍻
