Memories were made

Lovely day on the water, friendly staff and we saw whales in abundance. A very memorable day. A bonus was the return trip hugging the coast of K’Gari being able to see it up close and personal

Third time a perfect day

I have been whale watching in a different location. This was best . So many whales, got some of the best photos with out even trying. Saw a breach but was too far. Staff were excellent, not over crowded. Both my partner and I have a disability we did have go outside or top of boat to get a view of a life time.

Operator response

Thank you! We’re so glad you were able to see so many whales and capture some incredible photos. It’s great to hear that our staff made the experience easy and enjoyable for you and your partner. We’d love to have you back for another unforgettable day on the water!

Whale watching Hervey Bay

Today we witnessed the magnificent whales at play in Hervey Bay. Our cruise had 45 people on it and we all had plenty of room for opportunities to take some wonderful photos and videos. The crew were friendly and gave us lots of information. We were spoilt by the whales at play.

Operator response

Thank you! We’re so glad you got to witness the whales having such a great time in Hervey Bay—it’s truly one of their favourite spots to play! It’s fantastic that you had plenty of space to take photos and enjoy the show. Our crew will be thrilled to hear your kind words.

Very nice morning with lots of whales!

The crew was very nice and knew a lot about the whales, but also about a dingo we saw on the way. There was also free transport to and from the campsite. Seen a lot of whales, near and farther away.

Operator response

Dank je wel, Marlee, voor je lieve woorden. We hebben het geluk dat honderden majestueuze reuzen ons elk jaar bezoeken om te werpen, te blijven en te spelen. Een inheemse dingo is een speciale bonus. Ik zal je lieve opmerkingen over onze vriendelijke bemanning, die ook meehelpt met onderzoek om de walvissen te beschermen, doorgeven. Thank You, Marlee for your kind words. We are so lucky to have hundreds of majestic giants visit us every year to birth, stay & play. A native dingo is a special bonus. I will pass on your kind comments about our friendly crew, who also help with research to protect the Whales.

Fantastic, we saw whales and came very close to the boat. Just a bit early in the season, would have liked to see more. Great trip all round

Operator response

Hey, thanks for taking the time to share your experience. Your kind words are truly appreciated. And yes, very soon, we expect many whale pods to arrive. They are heading up the coast from the Antarctic to their sanctuary of Hervey Bay.
