Whales galore, fun and education. - What a brilliant way for my niece and I to celebrate our 21st and 60th birthdays together. Whales galore and we loved all the info we received about the whales. There was so much to learn. It surprised us how much we actually didn't know. Angus handled the boat well and we felt safe at all times. There were plenty of photo opportunities with one whale surprising us with a breach right near our boat.

Just Perfect. - Fantastic adventure today. Lots of whales and their young seen and a well delivered and informative Marine Biologist Guide. Couldn’t have been any better and I would highly recommend. The vessel ride was a thrill in itself and was well driven. Well done Out of the Blue Adventures. Great value for money.

Whale Watching - Great tour and guide (marine biologist) was excellent. Nice size boat and easy to see whales in either side of boat (not like the big vessels). Definitely do again.

Must do this trip - It was simply amazing! Everything was what we wanted! Loads of whales, mothers babies, male escorts. Courting behaviour, whale song, tail and fin flips, breaching, dolphins!!!! The guide was so knowledgeable, friendly and informative. The skiper didn’t go too close with the boat. I can’t recommend this trip enough!!

Wonderful experience learning all about Australia's east coast humpback whale subpopulation - Fun ride in the boat, excellent and knowledgeable commentary from marine expert who really knew her stuff and obviously had a passion for studying the whales. Saw about 10 humpback whales including 3 calves, with several views of calves breaching. We didn't get too close though, so it was very respectful of these wonderful creatures.

It was the best thing I have seen in a long time - The people who were working on the boat did a amazing job seeking for the Wales and dolphins and I got lots of videos and photos

Average - Nothing Special. But we didn‘t have any luck with a whale making a Show or smth else. We encountered a baby whale with its mother but you can only see it every 12 Minutes, when it comes to the Surface. Instead pf searching for a male or else, they would stay there the whole 1 Hour.
