    Paul and Luke were amazing and funny. It made whale watching the best experience. We learnt so much and seen so many whales. Definitely a bucket list experience. Many friends and family want to experience it too after looking at videos we shared with them. So amazing and would 100% be doing it again for sure

    The crew on our boat were excellent and made the trip exciting and educational! I Me and my partner learnt so much about whales, which made us appreciate seeing them so much! Will recommend to anyone who wants to go whale watching in Sydney!

    Eco-friendly whale-watching fun on a smaller boat

    Nice to be on a smaller, comfortable boat and the jackets provided were great for keeping the wind out - it can be chilly out there even on a warm day! Saw plenty of whales, including breaches, and the staff on the boat shared plenty of information about these majestic creatures while respecting the whales' space. Beautiful afternoon on the water
