Great crew and boat.
Friendly crew and glad to be on a large stable boat with the family who don’t have great sea legs. Good to have the high deck for whale spotting too.
Whale of a time
What a fantastic day out at sea with the crew. They did not disappoint in finding us some awesome whales and dolphins. Highly recommend.

Not bad but not amazing either
It was a decent experience but definitely not the amazing stories we've heard of other people's experiences. Whale sightings were quite far away and there's no rotation of seating so those who got the best spots didn't leave so we found ourselves trying to move around constantly just to get a glimpse of anything. It was nice, just nothing spectacular and I'd go for a much smaller boat next time. Other people have also said they've managed to call whales over to their boats before which ours didn't do.
Not worth it
I was disappointed at this cruise given the cost of these tickets. We barely saw whales on this 3 hour tour, with a very brief whale sighting on the water surface leading to our boat having to leave the area due to overcrowding. After that, the boat spent over an hour on the waves with no other whales, and it was a rather long journey with no reward. The crew tried keep us updated however their microphone constantly cut in and out, meaning that instead of hearing updates and facts, and understanding why we were leaving the only area with whales, we just heard the cut up broken shouting intermittently. It would have been better had their technology worked, and if we’d had any meaningful whale sighting. The tour was also difficult to find, with the tour crew saying g they weren’t adrenaline tours, therefore leading us to run around searching the Wharf for Adrenaline Tours for 20mins
