Lovely cruise to see whales
Perfect weather and calm sea was wonderful for seeing whales. Captain gave interesting facts about whales and crew were very helpful.

A must-do experience
We were given biscuits on arrival which was a nice touch. We were initially a bit worried about how many people were on the boat, however it was very easy to get a good view of the whales and we saw some dolphins too. Absolutely would recommend!

100% recommend.
Beautiful experience, knowledge and funny staff. The whales aren’t afraid at all and they didn’t stop to play near the boat for the whole trip. The only advice is just be ready for the sea/ do not eat before the trip. Most of the people in our trip were sea sick. 100% recommend.

Exciting trip!
We really enjoyed our whale watching trip with the Spirit of Gold Coast crew yesterday. Although we had to travel quite a distance out to see the whales, it was amazing seeing them calmly cruising through the water, and finally one of them breached not far from us which was a thrilling moment for us. Would definitely recommend!
