Magical afternoon!

5.00I can’t explain to you how magical yesterday afternoon was. We were originally booked on 7am but got rescheduled to 2:30pm due to weather. Due to this there were only 12 of us on the boat! Everyone had brilliant views. For the first hour we didn’t see anything. Then approached two boats and there they were a pod of three! The two other boats eventually left so all three humpbacks came and said hello to us. We then moved on and found another friendly pod that came right up to the boat in front of me! All we did was stop and they swam to us. Isabelle gave brilliant commentary throughout we really enjoyed the whole thing. We also got to watch sunset from the boat. We were buzzing after this. Money well spent! Thank you!
Great Trip

5.00Observed 2 whales, great work from the team considering we were not promised to see any whales due to the time of the year etc. Also see a fair few dolphins along the way. The team also protect the whales by not getting too close, something we respected fully. Still had a great view of the whales.
Whales said hi..

5.00The 3 Crew where fantastic throughout the trip and very informative. We came across a few whales very quickly in only 3M of water. We went further out into the bay, saw a few whales with dolphins swimming around them. We stopped in one spot for almost an hour, 2 whales kept us entertained. After a short while they were coming right up to the boat, poking their heads up often to have a look. They would swim, sometimes upside-down, all around us, everyone getting a good chance to get up close. There seemed to be a lot of whales around the area, breaching and flapping their flippers as they went along. At times the 2 whales would come right up to the boat, blowing out through their blow holes, spraying us with their SNOT!!! When it was our time to leave (they kept the boat out fo a bit longer than usual), I watched another whale come from a distance, flapping it's flipper as it was coming, but unfortunately we had to leave just as it was about to join us. I would highly recommend this trip, we think it was the highlight of our enjoyable trip to Australia. Don't miss it.
