ABSOLUTELY AMAZING

Aside from some difficulty finding the wharf which Imagine Cruises helped me overcome I had the most amazing time. Staff were helpful, informative and friendly. We saw whales, dolphins and seals and were even a little late back because the whales were being so playful. Definitely recommended, I’ll be going again to see the calves as the whales head south. Thank you all very much for a wonderful time

Wonderful day at the Bay

Although it was a cold windy day with choppy waters, the whales and dolphins didn’t disappoint us, they came in their numbers to entertain us. The staff and crew were very courteous and helpful to young and old and gave a good running commentary about the whales and dolphins. Imagine cruises has a smaller no of passengers which makes for a more intimate experience. Thank you Imagine Cruises for giving us a wonderful day out on the Bay.

Operator response

A top day out!

We went out on a magnificent winters day and saw many whales, dolphins and seals. The guides are very friendly and get as excited as the tourists when they spot the whales. I couldn’t rate the day any higher for a great value, quality experience in Nelson Bay.

Operator response

Your right - our crew never tire of seeing the whales and do get excited! Thank you for your kind words and we hope to welcome you back on board again soon.

A must do

Fabulous in every way! Whales were stunning. Excellent skipper and crew. We were very pleased that we chose this boat to go on. Small number of people and lots of space to move around on. Great views.

Thank you for your special comments Soljam and we are so glad you had such a wonderful experience on your Imagine cruise. We hope to welcome you back onboard for a future cruise with us :)

Whales and dolphins in their right element

We saw whales 200 meters away and saw dolphins and sea lions as well as beautiful coasts and islands off Byron Bay. On a good boat with great views.
