Noosa Whale Watching Tour Reviews

Awesome experience to see humpback whales for the first time and lots of dolphins with calves. The boat was so much fun at speed and floating smoothly over the swell. The captain was very knowledgeable and experienced. Felt very safe and comfortable on the seats. Will definitely return during peak season whale spotting in spring.

We’ve just returned from the Whale the watching tour, which we thoroughly enjoyed. The boat ride was exhilarating and almost worth the fee itself! Take some wet weather clothing. It took an hour to find some Whales after much manoeuvring around the bay. Once found, 2-3 Whales put on a real show for us, which was a real treat. We would definitely recommend this tour. Thanks chaps….

Mike was terrific and a great guide. I really enjoyed the ride we saw a mother and calf and then Mike took us to Sunrise beach to see a pod of Dolphins. Difficult to take a photo but got a couple of photos in of the mother and calf and Dolphins. Please do this ride I have done it now 3-4 times and I’m never disappointed.
