Humpback Whales

Danielle_A, Aug 2022

Fantastic experience, the crew went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable, & saw Whales.

Relaxed and very civilised

Jonathan_M, July 2020

Really pleasant way to spend an afternoon. Chilled out and leisure way to attempt to see whales. The exact opposite of some of the competitors with their pay per shot photographers and clowns on microphones. With these guys you get a small group, two guys who actually enjoy sailing and if you’re lucky you might get to see some whales and even get a mug of soup too. Highly recommended as a relaxed way to spend an afternoon.

A truly memorable day.

A great day all around. After finding four whales we followed them for quite some time. The Captain knew what pace they were travelling and was able to keep up with them even when they dived. A truly exhilarating experience.

Must Do

What an amazing experience - Captain Douglas and First Mate Gavin got us right to the whales outside The Heads! We were saw 20-30 whales and 2 breaching!! Douglas was respectful of keeping our distance from the whales and ensured that we had an enjoyable experience. A Covid 19 safety plan adhered to, unlike other tour companies we saw on the water. Highly recommended tour!!

Great whale sighting

Shreyans, June 2020

Absolutely loved it. Saw whale and followed it for an hour and to top it off we even saw a baby whale just when we were about to finish. Thank you for the experience. Would highly recommend.
