How often are new deals added?

Do prices change depending on the day or time?

Yes. Operators upload deals to fill spare seats during quieter times or for last-minute availability, so prices can vary.

What makes BookMe different from other booking sites?

BookMe is different because deals are uploaded directly by local operators, not resellers. This means genuine discounts straight from the source.

Do I need an account to book?

Yes. You need a free BookMe account to make and manage bookings, cancellations, and refunds.

Is BookMe Australia a trusted website?

Yes. BookMe is a trusted platform where official operators manage their own listings, prices, and availability.

Great trip !

Really enjoyed the cruise. Comfortable ship, good choice of drinks & snacks included in price. Knowledgable guide who is obviously passionate about marine life. We were lucky enough to follow a mother and calf for almost an hour. Highly recommend the Fantasea cruise to all.

Whale watching

We had a wonderful afternoon on Fantasea whale watching cruise. We were lucky enough to follow a couple of seperate groups of humpbacks on their migration up the coast. A drink and snack was much appreciated as part of the price. Crew and marine biologists helped with explanation of the whale's activity and behaviour. Great vantage spots on several floors on board the boat so it didn't feel crowded.
