Well worth the trip. We had the Whale watching. Kingfisher lunch and returned on the ferry. Early morning start on the Quick CAT II. Slight rain to begin with, then went. Double Rainbow for us in the morning. Saw couple of whales up very close to the boat. Kingfisher was great lunch included with a drink. Enough time to look around the resort area. Returned on the ferry. Bus trip included back to the Marina. Well worth this full day trip.
Thanks to all of you espacially the Crew for that marvelous experience. All of you did a Great Job. My and my Girls thanks for that. It was an outstanding experience today. Always again and i can not say more then: thanks a lot for that lovely day. My Regards to all of you.
We had the best afternoon, saw heaps of whales and took some amazing video and photo's. The commentary was great and the staff were fantastic at making sure everyone knew where to look and what to watch out for. Afternoon tea was a lovely bonus and warm cups of tea appreciated as it was a bit cool. Worth every cent and will definitely do it again now we are local.
Wonderful experience on the water, even though the seas were a bit lumpy. We found lots of whales, skipper considerate to whales while caring for us as passengers. the whales came right up to us in the boat and kept close, absolutely amazing. Our boat was not the biggest but crew was amazing and knowledgeable and very helpful. My husband's dietary issues were catered for for morning tea and breakfast. thank you!
Thanks so much for the beautiful review! It sounds like the whales really put on a show for you, especially getting so close to the boat, those are the moments we love! We’re so glad you enjoyed the cruise and our crew looked after you along the way. Thanks for choosing Quick Cat II and for taking the time to share your experience with us. We hope to have you back on board again!
Exceptional Whales in pairs jumping and coming to see the boat Fabulous show to do in August or September apparently
Thank you so much for your review! We’re so glad you got to experience the whales putting on such an incredible show, especially with pairs breaching and coming over to check out the boat! August and September can certainly be pretty special out on the water. Thanks for joining us aboard Quick Cat II.
We had a wonderful afternoon on the Quick Cat, the weather was perfect and everything went smoothly, including seeing plenty of whales! Staff were friendly and helpful and welcoming. It was very relaxed all round. A plentiful afternoon tea was offered and everyone seemed very happy with this adventure.
Thanks so much for the wonderful review! We’re so happy you had such a great afternoon with us. Perfect weather, plenty of whales and a happy boat makes for a pretty good day out! We love hearing that you enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and that our crew made you feel welcome. Thanks for travelling with us and we hope to see you again soon!
Omg the best trip ever!!! Sooo many whales and so close to the boat What an amazing experience Would highly recommend and will definitely do it again Fantastic crew , absolutely amazing afternoon !! Well done
Thank you so much for your review. We’re so happy to hear you had such an amazing afternoon with us! It sounds like the whales were more than happy to put on a show and come nice and close for you! Thanks for the recommendation and we look forward to having you back on Quick Cat II for round two!
My twin sister and I had an amazing time. The staff remembered us from our first visit just a couple of weeks earlier, and they were consistently happy, friendly, and incredibly informative. The boat was comfortable and easy to move around on, making the whole experience effortless. We also took advantage of the mate’s rates, and it was truly wonderful—so wonderful, in fact, that I’m going back for a third trip next week. We saw so many pods of whales that a few even surfaced close to the boat. The whales saved the best for last, with incredible action right nearby. It’s an experience I highly recommend. The crowd was larger than the first visit, so was harder to get the best vantage spot this time. We spent a long time with the whales so the 4 hours was the perfect time. There was such excitement onboard, especially when everyone was waving and talking to the whales. The onboard afternoon tea was great. The staff were the best and really made our day special.
Thank you so much for such a beautiful review! We absolutely love hearing that you and your twin sister enjoyed yourselves so much that you’re already coming back for trip number three! It’s always extra special when our guests return, and we love being able to recognise familiar faces on board. Sounds like the whales certainly didn’t disappoint either, especially saving some of that incredible action for the end! Thank you for the lovely words about our crew, the boat and the experience. And we’re so glad you’re making the most of our mates rates! We look forward to seeing you again next time!
Very nice experience: expert crew with a lot of knowledge of the whales and with a lot of respect for the animals. Lots of whales seen up close. Nice afternoon tea as a bonus, served by very friendly crew.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed seeing so many whales and appreciated our crew’s knowledge and respectful approach. We’re also glad you enjoyed the afternoon tea! Thank you for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back again soon!
Did the morning whale watch Incredible experience Crew were very friendly & knowledgeable sharing detailed information about the local area and whales. Found us lots of whales & some dolphins too! The boat was ideal for whale watching and the drinks & light breakfast were great too. Would highly recommend.
