Thar’ She Blows! - Firstly, apologies for the late review! An amazing day out on the water seeing the wildlife and enjoying some of the beaches on Fraser Islands west shore. Had mainly chosen the tour for the Humpback Whales and we were not disappointed. We were late in the season and the weather was a “bit fresh” but still saw Mothers and Calves, would definitely plan to come back another time, early in the season when the chances of closer encounters or even being able to get in the water with them are better. Also spent some time ashore, walking the (almost) deserted beaches, canoeing in the creeks and climbing Sand Dunes (hard going but with the view from the top). Transfers to the beach are by boat but the crew kept tabs on everyone and ensured that everyone could do things at their own pace. Food and drinks served throughout, definitely a tour for the wildlife lovers with a bit of adventure thrown in!

Fantastic whale spotting experience - This trip was perfect from start to finish, such a memorable experience. We saw so many whales on their migration, we definitely lost count. Single whales, pods, mothers with their calves, we were extremely lucky that day. The crew was excellent at spotting whales in the distance and pulling up close without ever interfering with these majestic creatures. Great opportunities to take photos from a short distance. The crew was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of information about the whales and marine wildlife conservation efforts. We then landed on Fraser Island with an amphibian vehicle which was quite the highlight. The kayaking and floating experiences were truly unique and we also had some time to relax on the beach and enjoy the warm waters. Later we climbed one of the famous sand dunes and enjoyed the magnificent views. Morning tea and lunch were also very enjoyable. The whole trip was very well planned and executed, and the crew was outstanding. If I could give ten stars I would. Keep up the great work!

Would give 6 stars if I could - What an amazing day, the crew worked so hard to make the trip enjoyable. We did kayaking, tube riding and snorkelling, not to mention whale watching galore. Excellent commentary and opportunities for photos, highlight was when they cut the engine and put the microphone in so we could hear the whale song. Exceeded expectations in all aspects, including the morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea.

Unreal experience - Incredible experience, the staff were fantastic, knowledgeable, couple bumps outside of their control but didn’t affect the day at all. Would highly recommend for those looking to do a little more than just whale watching.

An amazing experience - Fantastic day out to see the majestic hump back whales up close. We were lucky enough to see many of them with their calves putting on a show. The staff were great & lunch provided was nice. The only downfall was that we felt the activities were a little rushed & we did not get to see much of K’gari Island. Overall an amazing experience and I would highly recommend taking this tour.
