Hi
Hi, My daughter and I went on the Whale watching cruise on Sunday 31/7. We had a wonderful time observing the whales and their behaviour. The Captain was very informative both with information on whales and pointing out where they could be best seen as well as other local sights. I felt that this cruise was very aware and respectful of the welfare of the whales, and this fact enhanced the experience. The staff were all excellent, friendly and helpful. The boat was clean and comfortable. We did not have the buffet lunch so can't comment. My only complaint was the really slow boarding procedure, maybe an extra staff member to assist the captain checking visitors in would be helpful, it is a large task for one person. I would highly recommend this tour.
ABSOLUTELY AWESOME DAY. Of you get the chance to get onboard, you will have a great day thanks
First time whale watching and definitely, the most amazing day spent watching the most graceful majestic humpback whales. We did the VIP package and was a great way to go with lunch, drinks and plenty of whales and a calf. Also plenty of dorsal slapping surface entertainment to be had. WHAT AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE THANKS BRISBANE WHALE WATCHING

Definitely Recommend! A Wonderful Birthday Experience!
I booked a Brisbane Whale Watching Cruise for my birthday and it did not disappoint! All staff on board were very friendly, helpful, knowledgeable & accommodating to everyone’s needs. Staff shared some great information about the whales. On the day, the weather was perfect which made it even better to be out on the water. Lunch provided by staff was a great choice and had a variety of fruits, meats and salads. The whales were very social which made it the perfect photo opportunity when they swam up close. There were many pods, so you’ll definitely be guaranteed sightings. I would strongly recommend Brisbane Whale Watching as the place to book if you’re interested in sighting some whales on migration! It’s definitely a great experience for any age and worth your money!

Great experience with knowledgeable crews. Depart on-time, light meal is provided.
Wonderful experience, witnessed some mother whales and calves. The crews are experienced and helpful. Light meal is provided. A bottle of water would be appreciated. If they could provide some kid activities like drawings and games, that would be perfect. We'll be back!
