Absolutely fantasic trip. The skipper had everything very well organized. The skipper and co gave fantastic commentary and even a tour guide of the local waterfront houses on the way out of the river. My family enjoyed the experienc and would do it again.

I've been wanting to go whale watching for as long as I can remember. Finally had an opportunity to do it this year. One of the best experiences I've had. Cruising down the Nerang river the Skipper had some very entertaining and informative commentary. Wasn't quite sure what to expect once we hit the open water.. Once we got out there all eyes were peeled to spot our first whale. We were less than 15 minutes in the open water before we spotted our first whale.. unbelievable!! There were cheers all round. There were 2 whales not from our boat, One was a juvenile, both breaching and carrying on it was almost as if they were showing off for us. They seemed to enjoy the attention. Swimming up to our boat, so close it felt like you could almost reach out and touch them. Loved it, loved it, loved it!! Would definitely recommend it to anyone. Very professional and friendly crew which made the experience even more enjoyable, will be sure to book a whale watching trip with you guys again next year :)

Friendly staff. The whales were hit-and-miss. Overall, there was about 15 minutes of true excitement within the 3.5 hr trip.
