THE BEST DAY EVER! - This is an easy 200/10! The WWWA team gave us an amazing experience I will never forget. The family-orientated staff who have been working with these orcas for 8 years were extremely knowledgeable, friendly and answered all questions we had. They were environmentally conscious and always made sure to prioritise the wellbeing of the animals before all else, which is so important considering how mistreated these orcas are in captivity in other countries. It was like we were a part of the pod as the orcas swam right up to the boat to say hi and we saw over 60 at once (which apparently is quite lucky!). I love orcas so much and I am so blessed that this company gave me the opportunity to see them in action in the wild. Check out these photos we took - so incredible!

Orca Dinner - I didn't take any sea sickness tablets having recently been on a motor yacht from Gold Coast to Sydney and being OK BUT whilst I didnt vomit I got close seeing what seemed like half the boat vomiting. Crew were great at handling everyone but TAKE THE ADVICE and take some tablets the night before and in the morning as it is rough! Once we got to the end of the continental shelf and we sore the Orcas I was distracted enough to be fine and really appreciate what we were able to witness. A pod devouring their dinner - sadly another whale but we didn't see that at the time. Just lots of Orca's loving life. The shearwater birds and an albatross all taking advantage of scraps making it an amazing experience. I was able to take some good photos from up front on my phone and some videos but having the professional photos free to download was an added bonus ! Really recommend the trip just take tablets as it is the big wide bumpy ocean! Loved it thanks for this experience and knowledge.

Bremer Bay Orcas - Despite the rough weather this was an amazing experience. The crew were awesome - friendly and knowledgeable. The onboard photographer makes sure that you will be able to get brilliant photos of your trip with free downloads so you can just watch the orcas and not worry about trying to get photos. Light snacks provided throughout the day and comfortable seating. They knew exactly what to look for to make sure everyone had a great day and we saw heaps of Orcas!!!

UNFORGETTABLE !!! - We recently spent two consecutive days with the Exceptional - Whale Watch Western Australia crew experiencing the absolute JOY of watching MAGNIFICENT ORCAS in the Bremer Bay Canyon. Both days were completely different and we were fortunate to have brilliant weather conditions. Day 1 we were lucky to see about 200 Pilot whales and their dolphin companions on the way out to the canyon.....SPECTACULAR !! The remainder of the day we spent following about 8 individual Orca foraging for food. Whist we didn't have that many close encounters as they were extremely focused on their search for a meal, it was wonderful to see them in their natural environment and the constant commentary provided was incredibly informative and added to the value of the experience. Day 2 was AMAZING !!!! Having fed the night or early morning before, the Orca were in a VERY Playful mood and entertained us for HOURS !!! We watched as they played with one another, breaching, tail slapping, doing laps of the boat, singing, sharing food, gently playing with a large and magnificent Sunfish, before allowing it to safely swim away. It was a feast for our senses and so humbling to watch these Gentle Giants of the Ocean enjoy themselves. There were pods of Orca visible in every direction and when they approached the boat they happily put on a show for us. The Crew were FANTASTIC and go out of their way to ensure everyone is well looked after. There was food available throughout the day and a celebratory glass of beer or bubbles on the journey home. The depth of knowledge and understanding of the crew about each individual Orca, and the different pods is shared with everyone during the tour. It is SO obvious how much this family and crew Respect, Admire and Love the Orcas and their jobs. T This is a Bucket List Experience. Just Do it !!

Great experience BUT take anti sickness tablets!!! - Great experience, BUT be aware to take sickness tablets night before or on the day as there were a lot of people that were sick on the boat. It is very rough out there! Also would have liked to of heard what the lady was saying on the speaker but where we were too it was very difficult to hear anything and didn’t want to move and leave our spot. Every time they spotted whales they would move the boat to the left instead of giving each side a good look. But overall good experience another one ticked off of the bucket list.

We actually saw orcas! ... - We actually saw orcas! Very difficult to hear the commentary from the outside top deck. This was the only disappointing aspect of the trip.
