Great family venture

We were welcomed on board with a hot or cold drink. The staff were really friendly and informative. We didn't see a lot of whales but the staff ensured we got to see some and did their best to get us to any spotted from a distance. Would definitely reccomend and go again.

Excellent Experience

We really enjoyed this tour. The staff was very professional. Great information was shared about whales. We were very lucky to see breaching (whale jumping out of water) multiple times. It is highly recommended activity while in Gold Coast.

Whalewatching - Hold on tight

It was supposed to be a highlight of our holiday, unfortunately it wasn't to be. No issues with book.me site, great communication with the whale watching company too, nice vessels. However, we believe our trip shouldn't have gone ahead due to the bad weather and enormous ocean swells, we were already moved from the afternoon to the morning trip for that exact reason. Turned into a petrifying extreme rollercoaster type experience lasting 2hrs. Extreme seasickness by two in our family and a number of passengers, a rogue wave temporarily fully engulfing the vessel. On a calm day it might have been amazing, might even have spotted a whale. Free rebooking was offered to all, for us however, we shall not be repeating this trip.

Very disappointing experience

The whale watching tour was canceled and we didn’t even get a cancellation notice. It is our little girls birthday celebration we were there at 8am in the morning and nobody was there except for 1 lady that was supposed to work but she didn’t even got notified by the company that the tour was canceled. We were very upset and was very disappointed with this booking experience. We hope to get our money back!. Very bad experience
