Fantastic trip
We had a fantastic trip and saw lots of whales and a turtle on our 4 hour trip. Captain Rob was very informative and funny. Morning tea and lunch were great so a great day was had by all. We had our trip yesterday cancelled because of bad weather but were able to book for today.

We had a whale of a time!
Absolutely LOVED the whale-watching ‘cat’ experience with this lovely crew!! (catamaran) We had 4 amazing hours out at sea. It was a wonderful sunny day, we had uninterrupted views of Gold Coast city skyline and mountainous hinterland, morning tea, lunch, tea/coffee, fruit, onboard toilets, inside and outside seating (cushions on seats inside) and we followed a whale or two around the coastline for over 2 hours. What an amazing sight! It is early in the season to see whales, but the crew made sure we got to see a whale (and we were guaranteed to receive a free return visit if we didn’t get to see any whales! Awesome service!!). The ‘cat’ was a very comfortable, relaxing, fun and intimate way of cruising. (Bring a towel if you want to sit outside - as you may just get a little bit wet.)
