Well worth the money! - Modern, clean vessel with plenty of seats/ breathing room and viewing opportunities. Loads of whales (including close ups) and smooth sailing with a total of 2.5 hrs on water ...great value!

A breathtaking experience - The whole experience was amazing but the skipper took time to slow or stop at each sighting so we could really experience every sighting. The commentary from the AQWA team member was exceptional!!!

We are going to need a smaller boat! - It is hard to only give 3 stars for such an awe inspiring experience as we saw a number of Humpback. The problem was that the vessel used is the rottnest island ferry and they are not the best for viewing these magnificent animals. The setup is for ferrying people not viewing on the deck.
