Great Whale Experience - Excellent 2 hour experience. Professional friendly staff onboard clean and well equipped boat.
We were lucky and saw whales and dolphins within the first 5 minutes. Great commentary and whale spotting the whole trip.
Would definitely recommend this tour.

Amazing experience! - Very impressive! I was so amazed by the beauty of those gentle giants. We saw them quite up close. It was great, we were the only boat out there (not like many other whale watching tours where you have 10 boats around 1 whale). Very respectful. Great crew and commentary. Would 100% recommend! Thank you!!

Breaching Humpbacks - Breaching Humpbacks are an amazing sight to see. Nature tours can be fickle at times but the three tours I have done so far with Naturaliste Charters has been insane to say the least. The best part besides the whales themselves is the crew on board that take care of all the passengers. They are only to happy to help out with answering questions attending to people who may be seasick or simply pumping up the crowd when the whales are in the vicinity of the boat. Have done a few trips with Naturaliste Charters and they have been 5 out of 5 stars everytime. I will be back again and highly recommend this crew.

See the whales - Had a great couple of hours just off the coast of Augusta looking for whales. The boat was great with plenty of vantage points. The crew were knowledgeable. Managed to spot some humpbacks and we got a pretty good view while not encroaching on their space.
