Whale watching - An excellent trip. Jess’s knowledge and passion was a bonus and of course seeing some whales up close and personal 😊

Amazing experience - We loved the experience! The boat is very comfortable and the group is small so you don’t have to fight with anyone to see the whales. Everyone has a great view. The crew is amazing, creating a great atmosphere and giving plenty information. We saw the whales playing for almost every second of the tour. The crew let us spent plenty of time with them without watching the time and rushing! At the end we even got some snacks and drinks.

The best day out - Absolutely the best on the coast to see whales. Limited 23 ppl so short ppl like me actually get to see whales without a crowd infront of me Crew is great,knowledgeable,and this is our 4th year going out with them(cavalier cruises) The boat is so clean,carpeted so we get to go shoeless. Great for kids and adults Snacks included and soft drinks or juice. 3 hr cruise and yesterday we say a mother and her very young calf out from point Cartwright. The journey out is so relaxing . Highly recommend

Above and beyond expectations! - Fantastic experience! Everything well organised with a very friendly and enthusiastic crew. The boat was perfect, seating 22 people comfortably which meant we all had great views and room to move around. I even got to sit on the bow to see the whales close up. We were so lucky to see a mum and calf and then a pod of 6 males, jumping and thrashing around. This was a dream come true and far exceeded my expectations. Thanks to all involved. Highly recommended for a quality experience.

A Terrific Afternoon. - Even if I had not seen and watched two pods of 6-8 whales, the cruise alone was worth every cent. The small group meant we all had plenty of room to move around - we didn't miss a thing. Staff were knowledgabel, friendly and helpful.
