This was an amazing day we saw a lot of whales and they were very active. Rolling jumping, waving and swimming very close
We booked the VIP whale watching cruise and it was phenomenal! The staff are clearly very passionate about what they do, Kerry and the staff shared lots of interesting information about the whales and their migration, and the food and service was fantastic. The VIP tour is absolutely worth it to have a table indoors next to the window so you can spend most of the tour in comfort. Of course as soon as the whales come out you want to go outside to be up close and personal!
Fabulous day out on the water with the beautiful whales for company!! Perfect weather, great boat, fabulous service, awesome food!! Highly recommend!!
I've been on another whale watching tour but this was by far the best. Lots of whales the whole time we were there. Even after going back inside to eat the very good lunch provided we were able to watch the whales from inside up close. The female captain was very informative.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted you enjoyed the whales, the delicious lunch and Captain Kerry’s informative commentary. It’s fantastic to hear this was your best whale-watching experience yet. We hope to welcome you aboard again! 🐋💙
A wonderful time with lots of active whales for us to view, or were they viewing us? Everyone was very helpful and I continue to learn more with the commentary about the history, ecology, threats, and joys of the Humpback migration. The lunch was very fresh and tasty. A fantastic day!
Thank you for your wonderful review! It certainly sounds like the whales were just as curious about you! 🐋 We’re delighted you enjoyed the informative commentary, fresh lunch and fantastic day with us. We hope to welcome you aboard again soon! 💙

Had the best day ever yesterday, there were so many whales around. Have been on 2 previously up North and they were quite disappointing due to lack of whales. The staff were amazing, very friendly and helpful and the commentator was really informative.

Starting from picturesque Redcliffe, then onto a historic and quaint jetty and the beautifully balanced, specialised Eye Spy, the beginning was just a portend of the fabulous trip to come. Open seas, knowledgeable guides, and the performance of the friendly and playful whales - what a trip. It has to be on every one's bucket list, I certainly want to come back again and again!
