We had an amazing experience! Peppie and Albie were both really friendly, passionate about wildlife, especially whales and dolphins, and very respectful of the animals.
We genuinely spent the full 2 hours out on the water, taking our time and enjoying the experience. You can really tell that they care about the animals and want to give people the opportunity to see them without disturbing them.
We absolutely loved it and would definitely recommend this experience! 🐋

Thank you so much for joining us and sharing some lifetime experiences with these amazing animals

We had such a fabulous time with Pepe and Albi. I was unsure of which experience to book but this was amazing - if you are the same, this is the one!
A roof undercover, the passion and knowledge of the crew and a lifetime memory of a calf swimming under our boat whilst listening to it speak. The ease of a small group and kindness of the people was truly amazing. Could not recommend more!
Response from Host, Jul 2026
We are so happy to share these very special moments with you. Thank you !

Very knowledgeable and very happy and helpful. The whales turned it on and played right next to us for what seemed forever

It is 100% worth booking this. Fantastic crew and experience and seeing the whales was truly magical. The crew were informative, helpful and enthusiastic.

The team is realy friendly and wanted to give us best experience. The whales were not very playfull on the day, but the team did their best to give us the most still.

Firstly it was really difficult finding the building premises as it was a different company name and street number to what we'd been told. Although we saw a whale in the far distance very early on, the remainder of the trip didn't get us any closer, the pictures on the ad are very misleading. When I asked what the best time of year was to get close to them, I was told mid September- this information needs to be on the website ad so people aren't mislead.

We got lucky on the day and saw many whales breaching. Plenty of dolphins too. Our hosts were very knowledgable and pleasant. Small boat of about 12 guests. It was the highlight of our Noosa trip - a really special experience.

I can’t recommend this whale watching experience enough! The tour was beyond our expectations. Not only did we come up close with the beautiful giants of the ocean, we also had the most soulful guides who imparted both wisdom and knowledge, leaving us all with a day we will never forget.
Response from Host, Aug 2024
Thank you so much Bronii for sharing such a very special morning with us. We love having people aboard like you with the love and passion we both have. Much gratitude 🙏

Seeing dolphin pods escorting pairs of humpback whales, and hearing the whale songs from an underwater microphone. It was magical.

Thank you Fiona for sharing a very special memory with us.
Albie and Peppie 🐳 ♥️
Lisa_W, Aug 2024
We had 3 whales with us from Noosa Heads Beach after we motored out of the river, for the whole trip. These whales met up with dolphins and other whales and even swam under us. Mugging or hugging? Very knowledgeable guides.
Thank you Pepe and Albi. A great experience.
Response from Host, Aug 2024
Thank you Lisa for sharing a very special memory with us was lovely to have you onboard
MaryRuth_D, Jul 2024
Had an absolutely fantastic experience with Captain Albie and first mate Peppie!
We throughly enjoyed the experience from start to finish. We had the joy of not alone witnessing but also hearing such an array of whales and dolphins. We also seen a mother and calf.
The tour operators are so passionate and knowledgeable. The boat itself is on the smaller side which my husband and I loved as there was only a small group of 10 of us and it was so personal.
However, smaller boat does mean bigger rocks. Some of our fellow passengers didn’t fair so well on the sea!
It was an absolutely incredible and memorable moment to watch / hear these massive mammals up close.
Thank you both for such an incredible experience.
Steven_M, Jul 2024
We had the absolute pleasure of going out to meet a number of very friendly, very playful whales with Albie and Whale Songs. This was a once in a lifetime experience. The whale researcher onboard also added a fantastic insight into the whale behaviours that we were lucky enough to witness. Absolutely amazing.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Thank you Steven for your review. Was a pleasure having you aboard.
We love what we do and love sharing this with others.

We had a fantastic morning with Captain Albie & First Mate Peppie. Peppie was very knowledgeable and extremely passionate, sharing interesting facts of whale life. We were blessed in seeing these magnificent creatures and their calf. Having only 10 people onboard is a bonus. Highly recommend and we will definitely go again next year.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Thank you Shona. Such a pleasure having you onboard for such a magic trip. Babies breaching and dolphins made it very special. 🙏💙🐳
Anne_O, Jul 2024
What an amazing day out! Our hosts were super friendly, extremely knowledgeable and just as excited as us when we spotted the whales. And we were super lucky that the whales put on an unbelievable show for us. We highly recommend this tour.
Christine_l, Jun 2024
Fantastic tour unbelievably close to 4 male whales. Expert crew with in-depth knowledge of whales. Because it's a smaller boat no jostling to get your photos. Loved it. Got sooo many great videos and learned a lot.
Jacqueline_O, Jul 2026
Very nice, very competent, saw 2 whales and a few dolphins. The boat only took 10 people, which was pleasant.

Sorry that viator didn't let you know or ourselves about the booking irregularity
I have asked Viator to fully refund you for today's charter , the bad weather meant no one was out today also
Sadly the first time we knew about your booking was 23rd April when you messaged us as we haven't had a 1.30pm dolphin tour since may last year so we were a little confused. Your booking was made so long ago viator and ourselves didn't see it come through to our booking service . So as you missed this tour , we would like to extend to you a free tour for 2 people to Dolphins or whales whenever you are available again over the next 12 months
But please ring us directly to book it on 0478 188 287 Whalesongsnoosa so we can assure you dont miss it again .
We Peppie and Albie Hope to see you next time you visit here or if you are around for a week or 2 try again on us .
Thank you for your kind understanding .
🐬🐬🐳🐳🐬🐬
