From May through November, these whales can be seen in rising numbers along the NSW coast, as part of their annual migratory treks.

Highly recommend this cruise - From the time we booked to the actual cruise, the staff were so helpful and nothing was an issue for them.
Being in a wheelchair, I was a little hesitant but they made us welcome, we boarded first, ramps were placed to allow access to the outside deck area plus they had a fully accessible toilet aboard.
The staff ensured I was able to see wildlife along with everyone else.
Everyone’s safety was a priority. The
staff were courteous and engaging. We had a brilliant trip and I’d definitely do it again. Highly recommend this company.

Well oiled operation - A well oiled machine - pity the whales kept eluding us as we got close, but that is out of their control! The staff were warm, friendly, attentive and funny. The boat was clean. They also have impressive facilities at the wharf.
My 4 and 8 year olds had a lovely time, despite the wind, thanks to the staff.

Back of the boat - Obviously watching the whales was great.
Not so great was the build up. We arrived early and had trouble finding the right spot to board (no signage). After a bit of to and fro a staff member informed us to be at a certain spot. When it was time to board we were not in the right spot and despite having waited for some time ended up being at the tail end of a long queue which meant only seats available in the back of the boat. That was disappointing seen how long we waited.
The crew was good at handing our sickie bags......

Great experience - Whale watching was great but Viator did not inform me that the tour was delayed for an hour. I had to wait for another hour at the cafe.

Early season viewing - perfect day - Was early in the season but we got lucky and saw 3 whales. Crew were good. Only reason it was 4 rather than 5 stars was because we were on the small boat so no toilet - upside was the ride itself was also fun :)

No Chance of seeing whales cruise - Having to turn around before we reached where the whales were due to bad weather which management was aware of and not being informed of this before we left shore.
