Whale watching experience

5.00Great experience. While it was late in the season for whales we were lucky enough to see several whales. I went out twice - 2 days apart. First trip came upon the whales immediately. Second trip it took some time but the tour operators went out of their way to find whales for us.

5.00We could not recommend Jake and Jake (the skipper and deckhand) enough. They are very professional, giving us a safety talk before we left and ensuring everyone was comfortable, which they continued to do throughout the trip. They lent me a spray jacket which was helpful, although the weather was so lovely I didn’t really need it. We saw both whales and a pod of super cute dolphins, but even if we hadn’t, it would have been a great trip. Jake, the skipper was very knowledgeable about all things whale and a great “driver” too!
Fantastic tour & great crew

5.00Super cool experience to do. The sea was rough so we got a bit nauseous. But they took that into account. Captain was very friendly and his deckhand very helpful. Found the spot with the whales. Super nice to see.
Great time

Friendly Crew but No Whale Sightings

1.00We joined the whale watching tour with high hopes, as this was the main reason we travelled to the Sunshine Coast. Unfortunately, we didn’t see a single whale during the trip. We completely understand that nature is unpredictable and sightings can’t be guaranteed. However, it was disappointing to learn that there is no policy in place for a second chance or partial refund, as some other tour operators offer. When you’re marketing a tour specifically as a whale watching experience, it’s reasonable for customers to expect at least some form of goodwill gesture when no whales are seen, especially for those who travel specifically for this activity. The crew was friendly and the boat was comfortable, but overall we left feeling let down.
10/10
