Sunrise tour experience - Fabulous & highly recommend! Very professional & well organised. We saw so many dolphins (some up very close) & a whale migrating (a siting this late in the year was unexpected) Expect to get wet & make sure you only take a phone if it is in a waterproof cover (they can provide you a waterproof pouch when you arrive for $15 ) Despite our best attempts, my partner & I could not master the shore landing in a sea kayak & many laughs. Felt safe the entire time

What to wear, recommend the experience - The staff was super friendly and made the experience unique. Don’t need athletic skills. Make sure to take your bikini on with you, he prepared to get wet and salty! Would recommend it the experience.

A great active adventure, highlight of our trip! - This tour was the highlight of our trip, we LOVED it and took my 11 yr old step son with us who loved it too.Best to book direct with the company though as we did have issues when booking through a third party (Get Your Guide). The tour was a great adventure and the team really worked hard to get the group into good spots where there could be activity, very informative about the ocean, marine life and bay, we had fun throughout - we luckily saw dolphins and they popped up right up beside our kayak to say hello, a couple of times. There were a few whale splashes in the distance but I don't think any passing when we were out, some of the group saw a resident turtle come up for air too. It is an active adventure, especially being an open bay with waves and being out at sea etc, so don't expect to stay dry and get ready to put in some muscle to battle the waves, it's all part of the adventure!

A must do! - Amazing! Definitely one of the best things you can do in Byron Bay, or all of Australia! We got to kayak amongst turtles, dolphins and whales! Plus they share some interesting info about the area, Indigenous culture, and marine life all without it feeling too 'tour like'. We all said we wish we could go every weekend! :) So we'll definitely be back. Thanks legends!

Best experience in Byron Bay - This was the best experience we did in our time in Byron bay! This is the perfect mix of adventure whilst also being able to relax and take in the wildlife. We did this at the end of whale migration season so weren’t expecting many encounters but we must’ve seen at least 10 whales in the two and a half hour session. At one point we had three whales within 20m of us. The guides we had were very knowledgable on the local area and wildlife as well. We also saw dolphins and a turtle. The tour was pretty flexible and the guides would change the plans in line with wildlife so that we got the best view whilst staying respectful distances away and letting them approach us. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area and it is great value for money.

Whale of a day. - What an awesome day out with the whales. Saw many up close and under the kayaks. A mum and very new born came right up to us curious to check us out. Pectoral and tail slapping and lots of whale song. Truly humbling to be amongst these gentle giants as they migrate south. Highly professional and skilled team taught us all the safety Incredible day. Can’t wait to go again with the go sea team. Highly recommended.

Remarkable life experience - We booked this as per description...dolphin watching kayak tour. What we did not expect, was seeing whales...so many whales, and so close. This was unexpected, and turn out to be the most remarkable experience we have done with my wife. Incredible.

Fun, active - Kayaking with whales! What’s not to love about that!? Large group, so not much personal interaction, just follow the leader, do what you’re told kinda vibe. Well organized, well equipped.
