We had some unfortunate weather the day of our tour (rain and wind) but we still enjoyed whale watching and the 2 island stops. The captain timed the stops as best he could with the weather to try to avoid the rain. We had never seen so many humpback whales in such close proximity, let alone, so many calves! Even though we couldn't get in and swim with the whales, it was great watching them jump and play. The tubing and kayaking on the island was fun, as well! Overall, the staff/crew was friendly and knowledgeable. It was a memorable day learning and exploring the land and waters of K'gari.

From the moment we stepped onto our boat the experience was nothing short of fantastic. The friendly and knowledgeable crew, especially Dani made such a difference! The whale experience was truly unbelievable, the climb to the top of the sand dune, the great time kayaking , snorkeling, tubing were all amazing. Kudos also for the excellent lunch and morning and afternoon tea. Will definitely recommend this remote tour to anyone visiting!

This was, I think the best tour I ever did. We first hesitated with a more classic tour going around the most known kgari island’s spots but we went for this one. And it was so worth it. The activities were great and fun, we saw a dingo during our walk and we had the amazing chance to swim with turtles during the snorkelling. We were also very lucky to see early whales ! It was so nice to see them from that close and one of our guide, Carolina was so passionate about it, it was very interesting to learn many things about whales while watching them. Scotty and Kristen the two other guys were great as well ! Everyone was nice and we had such a great day. What’s good is that they adapt on what actually happens in the moment and that made this day magic. If you’re interested in seeing wildlife and have fun at the same time, this is the one. The food was good as well, with vegetarian options.
