Absolutely FANTASTIC! It's not cheap to go on a whale watching tour, but it was great fun for the family. The crew were very professional (though boarding the boat could be better managed as the crowd didn't line up!) and we spotted many whales and dolphins on this trip! Two Thumbs up! Make sure you go during the whale watching... More

We were there in sept with our 3 kids aged 4,8 and 9. We bought the combo package with sea world and it was a gd deal. The tour was informative and professionally presented. The whales were sighted very shortly into the tour and it was awesomely amazing as we saw three humpbacks together. After the half day whale watching... More

We went on the afternoon whale watch trip on Fathers Day. It was the most incredible experience. All staff from the initial phone call, to check in, to those on the boat were friendly professional and knowledgeable. We saw many whales and the boat was huge and gave everyone room to view these magnificent creatures. I have been on another... More

We got the combo package-whale watching & sea world. check in staff were friendly and efficient. Boat ride wasnt bumpy at all. Guided commentary was great. We were lucky to watch pods of whales coming from different directions and a small pod of bottlenose dophins too! The whales were everywhere, we saw different behaviours and breached a few times.

We're pleased to hear you had an excellent time onboard our whale watching tour. What an experience it must have been to witness the whale breach only 20 metres from our vessel. More

I have attempted whale watching tours before with limited success. This one comes with a guarantee...no whales gives you a full refund. I was not dissappointed, the stars of the show came out to play. The humpback whales were amazing. Our trip began with a very informative large screen presentation followed by continuing narrative and directions from the great experienced... More

There are a few vendors offering whale watching tours but I decided to book the family pass for 2A+2C with Seaworld Cruises for an afternoon whale-watching tour that comes with Seaworld entry tickets at AUD325. I booked a little too late for the morning whale watching tour but was lucky to get the afternoon slots for 4 of us. We... More
