The Captain explained lots of interesting things bout Wales. One came really close to the Boat. We even have seen a Hammerhead Shark. Highly recommend! And the fruitsalat was without pineapples, that is rare and i loved it! Thanks to the Crew, what a lovely day!

We‘ve been whale watching before in Sydney but this trip was so much better! Everybody was so friendly and highly knowledgeable. We got to see so many whales and the captain gave us so many details so we learned a lot too!

The trip was excellent. The tour company contacted us the day before our trip as the weather forecast for the day we originally booked was unfavourable and they offered to reschedule as there was a risk the tour would be cancelled on the day we booked. Thankfully we were able to reschedule and we had a fantastic day whale watching. Whales were swimming alongside the boat and were at times within 25 feet, 8m from the boat. We saw a number of whale calves breaching as they swam along, a truly magnificent sight. The staff were very knowledgeable and helpful. The lunch was also excellent. Altogether we had a fantastic day and we would very much recommend this tour.
