Highly Recommend - We managed to see the whales on 5 seperate occasions including a breach and two mothers with their pups. The boat was super comfortable with comfortable chairs and plenty of rails to hold. The crew was very knowledgeable on the whales and I left learning a lot.

Loved this Augusta Whale Watching Trip - Hubby and I had a great trip off Augusta and saw plenty of humpbacks and even calves. The crew and skipper were attentive and informative and we enjoyed our 20% off lunch after our tour at the Augusta Hotel. Thanks for the photos, much better than mine!

Wonderful... - We had a beaut morning on the 'Alison Marie'. The crew (Jade & Kane & Keith) were friendly and generous with their stories and information about various sea life.
We were lucky enough to have 5 or 6 humpbacks swimming around our boat just a few minutes after leaving the marina. They hung with us for about an hour - diving, rolling and coming in really close. Weather was kind, sea was calm and the hot cuppas and biscuits went down a treat.
A great morning out with lots of great memories. Many photos from the crew posted onto FB for us to access later, which meant we could relax and enjoy the interactions.
Highly recommended. :)
From another Alison Marie!

Whale of a time on a stellar boat with an amazing crew! A must do! - This company is top notch. From the friendly and informative booking process, to the friendly and service oriented crew, to the top of the line comfortable and clean boat. If you want to see whales this is the company to go with. We have been on a lot of boats and this one was pristine and you can tell the crew takes pride in what they do. They even have professional photographer to take pictures that you can download off their site for free This is unheard of. Go with naturaliste and know you will not be disappointed.

Worth while trip - Worth going and was able to catch some whales. The tour guide was very informative. Went for the morning tour on 25 Jul 2024. Free biscuits and hot beverages were served which were a boon.

Awesome experience! 😊 - One of the best experiences! The trip was super chill, and the crew went above and beyond to ensure we had the best time possible. Once the tour finished and we were heading back to the coast, the captain spotted whales in the distance. Even though we were past the scheduled time, we headed there and ended up seeing the whales play around our boat—an unforgettable experience! 😍 I highly recommend this company.

Stunning Experience - I have been wanting to take this cruise for many years now and finally did it. It was absolutely fantastic. The whales put on a magical show especially the rare Southern right whales, we even saw a baby having fun. The crew were amazing very knowledgeable and friendly and chatty. Loved the boat too. It was an absolute privilege to see these magnificent creatures in their own back yard. Thank you. This is a must do experience for anyone to enjoy. Highly recommend. Just Do It

Whale Watching Tour - My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed this whale watching cruise. The crew were very knowledgable about the whales and we managed to get some great sightings of the humpback whales including when they were breaching and playing near the end of the tour! We would recommend this tour to anyone (including families!) who wants to get up close viewings with the whales as we were amazed!
