Great Day

We saw a pod of whales that included 3 breeches, many tail splashes and following at speed. As a family we all agreed that this was a wonderful 2.5 hours.

This was a highlight of our holiday. The crew were fantastic and extremely knowledgeable. Also had the privilege of seeing humbacks, dolphins and minke. Loved every minute.

We were happy to see...

We were happy to see whales but it took about an a hour and a half. The weather and the seas were very choppy and I feel like they could’ve been more careful with the driving. Otherwise it was a fun experience.

Operator response

We're glad we could find whales for you to enjoy onboard with us Kean! Choppy conditions do make it difficult to locate whales sometime, but you can be assured we always do our best to be as careful and observant as possible to ensure our guests have the best time possible onboard and don;t miss a whale sighting!

Chicago of the south pacific

Queensland's gold coast in overcrowded, scruffy and overrated. So many better places to holiday in Australia. Lots of hi rise buildings--no longer a holiday town the Gold Coast has become just another big city.

Operator response

Hi Kev, Not sure what this review has to do with our business. But yes the Gold Coast is a coastal city not a small town, and although it can be a busy place it has many things to do. It does also offer amazing Whale Watching experiences from June to October, which is what you have left a 1 star review on. Cheers, Nic Kokomo Cruises

A relaxing day with whales

Had a great day with friendly staff. Saw a few whales and a couple of babies playing with mum. Only wish was a few more whales to see but it is the luck of the draw if they want to come up for us and visit

Operator response

Thank you so much for your 5 star review and kind words Helen! We're so glad you had a great day onboard with us and that you got to experience some of the baby whales playing in the water alongside their mothers
