This was one of our best trips here. Our captain was so experienced and knowledgable. We were out a good three hours and lucky enough to spot humpbacks which was magical as they don’t come on command!!! He was as excited as us when they were spotted and reeled loads of info… I’d have loved to have done a day trip with a bit of lunch it was that good! Couple of guys with him keeping their eyes peeled. A fantastic experience with a super guy. Thank you 🙏

We had the most magical day out whale watching from Kalbarri. We saw so many whales playing around heading south down the coast. The weather was perfect, if you’re up this way, be sure to check them out.
We had a great morning and the staff were friendly
Between dolphins and whales, we had lots to see
I recommend it!
Take your drinks and food as nothing supplied. It’s only 2.5 hours which is the perfect amount of time to see whales and head back in.
An awesome experience, we loved our whale watching cruise and hope to do it again next time we go to Kalbarri.
The tour is amazing, especially when the season is right. It might take 15-20mins to find the whales, but once you are among them, you see a lot of them around you
Managed to see a few whales up close. Got a bit of fun facts from our tour guide. Absolutely worth it.
The whole experience was wonderful would recommend to do very experienced crew and friendly lots of communication about the weather for smooth trip
Being up close and seeing whales put on a show for us! Very beautiful experience that just takes your breadth away
I had really good time with families.
I will come again with this tour.
I recommend this tour to friends.
WONDERFUL!!! We appreciated the approach at beginning with the Tour operator offering a refund or o postponement due to medium wave highness; very professional! We chose to do the tour and it was awesome; we spotted 7 whales very closely and saw also a cute whale calf
There was a lot of activity from the whales on the day we did the tour. To also help with the experience the weather, although cold was great. My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour.
We had a blast. From 15 minutes he head numerous whales breach’s and pups playing. Staff were great with great knowledge of the area and the whales. Would do it again great bang for your buck.
Saw a couple of dolphins and a sea snake. Nice boat and crew however there were no whales as promised
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Thanks for taking the time to review us however we are a little confused with the no whales as promised comment . We guarantee seeing whales on our whale watching tours (or you are offered the next tour for free) . Obviously sightings & interactions can vary from tour to tour & whale behaviour is something entirely out of our control as they are wild animals. We have received another review on Google Reviews from another customer who was on tour the same day, as per below- pictures of whales can be seen in the pictures she has uploaded.
