Nice day out but no whales…😂😂

The staff were great, it was a nice flat day, perfect conditions for whale watching but no one told the whales. The crew were very good at filling in the time but you could hear the disappointment in their voice that they couldn’t deliver. But I would & will go out them them again 100%

Great day out

Enjoyed the trip greatly. We were lucky to have a day with plenty of sightings & smaller craft allowed all the opportunity to see the whales. The staff members were friendly & very knowledgeable about the Humpbacks. Great experience.

No whales but still enjoyable

Didn't see any whales Enjoyed the boat. Small number of people and enjoy the inflatable experience would have been 5 stars if there was a whale sighting.

How to do whale watching !

This experience was amazing, seeing humpback whales and a turtle. What made it special were the crew who are a credit to the Sunshine Coast tourism industry with a great Aussie welcome, informative commentary and jokes galore. Seeing multiple whales at a respectful distance was the icing on the cake.
