Take home unique memories that only Mother Nature can provide. You’ll have a whale of a time as the crew demystifies mating and migration, baleen and blowholes, flukes and fins. Oh my, what mighty pectorals they have!

We had a wonderful time on the cruise last night - a great way to finish our Gold Coast holiday. The staff were friendly and accommodating, the food was lovely and adequate for the number of people onboard. Christian kept the mood with his songs. All in all, a great experience. The evening was a bit overcast but I can just imagine how lovely it would have been if the clouds had cleared.

It was terrible the captain driving put us on a sand bank and the cabin filled with horrible fumes. We had to be rescued by the police shuffling 10 people at a time back to shore didn’t get to enjoy the new year at all. So disappointing and nobody will respond to my calls or emails as yet. So no refund has been offered.

I booked for the nye cruise along the Broadwater for a friend and I. Very disappointed with the cruise, the food provided was terrible, the drinks were below average with minimal selection, the entertainment was poor and dull no life in the party at all. Not to mention our boat was run into a sandbank by the skipper who was under the influence of alcohol, three times over the limit. At one point the engine started smoking and filled the boat with fumes . We had to be rescued by marine police. Staff were unprofessional, the whole experience was terrible I do not recommend booking with such irresponsible captain and crew.

We booked a whale watching tour in October 2023 departing Main Beach, but unfortunately couldn't drive out to the ocean as there have been too many waves. So we just drove about one hour on the river. As it was close to the end of our stay we didn't make it to try again another day, and it took some time as well to get our money back. So all in all a bit disappointing and don't understand why we started at all, there have been lots of wind and waves the whole day already. Probably not the best spot for whale watching at all, would recommend Moreton Bay or Byron Bay.

Overall poor quality service. Old and dirty vessel. Did not see any Whale. Did not receive rebooking information or future credit.
Received the confirmation email for the trip and the advice the day after the trip. I do not recommend it to anyone.

My mum and I went on this tour and we were both overwhelmed at how special and precious it was to see a whale and her calf swimming and playing around the boat.
The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming and I can't recommend it highly enough.

Unfortunately, we spent 2 hours bobbing up and down on the ocean looking for whales that didn't want to play. It seems that most whales had migrated, so it would have been difficult to spot them. When we did, they were so far away and surfaced for a couple of seconds only.
Not the greatest trip I've been on.
