    Friendly, informative and exciting

    Staff very friendly and informative. Food was tasty. Captain knew his stuff about the whales and was careful not to encroach on them. We saw plenty of whales which was very exciting. We highly recommend this whale watching cruise.

    Magnificent

    Had the most lovely afternoon out with the whales. 2 your pups with mothers; a group of males; a turtle and even some dolphins in the distance. Such a magical afternoon. Didn’t want it to end. Thanks Cameron and team. You were fantastic.

    Excellent day, great hosts. Got up close with the Whales and to see and hear a mother and baby communicating was the icing on top.
