Excellent whale watching trip - Even though we were at the end of the season the crew still put us on a pod of whales. The marine biologist onboard was absolutely brilliant. Incredibly knowledgeable. The crew were really friendly and helpful.

Whale watching - Our tour actually stayed out an extra half hour because there was a lot of whale activity. So nice they have that flexibility. Boat ride was a little rough, but expected. Once we were out and seeing activity they opened up the outside decks. There were quite a few people on this tour, but it didn’t seem overly crowded. I was able to get to a railing and get some great pictures. The pick up and drop off in Perth went smoothly too.
