Was a good day out, had to change over to the seaworld cruise from main Beach. Got the hopo tickets for the day as compensation so was overall a good day. Saw a couple of whales and a fantastic whale breech. Great commentary from the researcher.

What a wonderful morning! Our crew where amazing. A smaller group compared to other boats out there which was great. Could see from every part of the boat. We got pretty close to the whales who put on a show for us. Thank you so much. We will be back with the family.

I have been on many whale-watching tours and this topped them all off! Not only did we have the best close encounters and marvellous displays but the commentary was fun and extremely informative. Kelly and Simon know how to keep your interest but also how to explain the wealth of information they have, in a clear manner that guests of all ages could understand.

Whale watching. Half day. It was a pretty nasty forecast out of rough weather out on the ocean. We were informed right from the start that if it was too rough or dangerous the trip wouldn't take place as our safety was paramount. If the decision to not go ahead was taken the choice of a full refund or book another day was given to us immediately. As we hot yo the edge of the breakwater, the captain stayed for a short while where he was able to make the decision, safety first, for us to go ahead It was a fantastic experience, we saw at least 4 whales. 2 of whom kept us entertained for a good while. Captain was very informative 👏 thank you. His crew were amazing dealing with quite a few of the guests who were extremely sea sick. (Lots of small children) Sea sickness tablets were available to buy on board. Sick bags readily available too. I would recommend. If you have small children, that you think long and hard before you choose to take this trip when the seas are rough.

Was switched to SeaWorld boat last minute, very informative guide. However, was shorter cruise and would have been cheaper if I’d booked on that one and no discount was offered
