It was a great experience combining the watching of whales, sea turtle, dolphins, the cruise of Noosa and an exciting sea adventure. At the beginning we only saw a couple of whales at a distance but towards the end we saw many and they kept blowing water, such an amazing sight! The boat captain is experienced enough to keep tracking them and it was a delightful surprise to see many dolphins playing in the water towards the end of the journey. The journey also offered excellent views of Noosa beaches, and the boat captain kept bringing us some very exciting rides. even better than on a roller coaster! All in all it’s a very enjoyable and fun journey and we’re so lucky to see the whales!

The captain was experienced and made sure we had a good time. He took us to the right places where whales were there. Along the way we also saw some dolphins.

Really enjoyable trip, saw quite a few whales and dolphins, and the family loved the fast boat ride. It is a speed boat, not a gentle cruise - hang on to your hats!
