"We had a great trip out with captain Jared and the crew. They were very respectful our or land legs, offering support for sea sickness all the way. I recommend taking a little mandarin to chew on though. Remember to take your scraps with you though. We had a pair of whales cruise with us for 40 mins which is apparently unusual. It's a very stable boat at sea which made photography very easy."
"Unfortunately the weather conditions were not ideal on Thursday. Our afternoon cruise was cancelled due to a strong wind warning. Luckily we were able to transfer to the morning cruise instead. Sadly there wasn't much whale activity which was disappointing. We only saw the whale's back and odd tail. Not the exciting breaching we were hoping for. Now realise whale watching is pot luck entirely dependent on the weather conditions."
"It was great experience. I went with my husband and husband’s family. I haven’t seen whale so closely in my life. The guide explained well about the whale. They did their best to show the best scene. I am so appreciated. I will definitely bring my friends and my parents."
"My best friend and I had the most amazing experience! We were very both excited, when boarding the ship. Staff were very welcoming and helpful, inviting us to tea and coffee. Throughout the journey, the crew was giving informative commentary about whales and their migration movements. It was quite some time that we waited impatiently for whales to appear. Occasionally we spotted some dolphins, and the blow of whales coming to the surface could occasionally be seen in the distance in places, but there were no really visible sightings for a long time. Finally towards the very end just when we were starting to think it wouldnt happen, we heard a loud commotion of the crowd on the deck cheering and shouting. We ran on to the deck to see that a whale had come right close to the ships. We saw them leaping in and out of the water! We all were awed as the whales put on a great show, and everyone was getting many great photos. We bought some hats and toys and also got some of the professional photos that were taken by the crew that were available for sale. All in all it was a great experience and well worth doing."
"Such a great experience! We got to see the whales up close - our guide Glenn was super knowledgeable, entertaining and took great photos. All the crew on the boat were so lovely and did their best to give us the best opportunity to see the Whales. PS. definitely take some motion sickness medication if you’re prone to nausea"
