Wonderful excursion - Group not too big. Crew friendly, competent, helpful and organized. Several whale sightings. In fact, beautiful, secluded stretches of beach. Diverse water supply, even if snorkeling was not possible due to too churning water

A truly unforgettable experience! - We had the most incredible day and one we’ll remember for the rest of our lives! We were fortunate that the Whales decided to stick around in the bay after the official end of the season, and it was the most magical experience seeing so many whales up close in the boat. All of the crew were absolutely amazing, so knowledgable, professional and passionate about what they do, all whilst being great fun at the same time! The day was ran smoothly, and we got to do so many cool activities (kayaking, snorkelling, tubing, climbing a sand dune, dip in the creek) and the food was also delicious! The best day trip going and you get to explore remote areas of K’gari away from the crowds!

Whale of a time at Hervey Bay. - This was a fun packed experience from pick up to drop off. Saw loads of whales had a lovely refreshing swim off the boat, loved the spectacular views from K’gari over the ocean, kayaking through the mangroves then tubing behind the fast boat - from whale spotting to wailing with delight - then unwinding cruise back reflecting upon a wonderful day. In summary, a great time was had by all. Thanks

A trip not to miss - Picked this trip as it covered both whale watching and K'gari island rather than most, and the great reviews. Was mid Oct with only 1 week left of the whale watching season so was a bit worried that we may not see many but we saw lots throughout the day, including one close up encounter to finish the day. The crew were very friendly, professional and passionate about both whales and ensuring everyone on the trip had a great day, which we did. Couldn't fault anything and the buffet lunch was to a good standard and plentiful. The short kyaking session on the island through a mangrove was great and the fast boat tubing a bonus for those seeking thrills. Highly recommend the trip for the quality and service from a team who put the effort in.

Brilliant day trip from Hervey Bay! - Great to see the whales so close to the boat. The staff were super friendly and informative. We loved the time we spent at the two stops on land with the tubing and water swing highlights for our teenage kids. Such a great day!

Great trip - Great trip, friendly crew. Good selection of snacks & lunch. Saw a few whales up close and K’gari was beautiful. Enjoyed the kayaking and the beach. Only negative was snorkelling as crew didn’t notice straightaway when I got into some difficulty and I tried 3 times to get someone’s attention.
