From Whale Watching Cruise with Spirit Of Gold Coast
HI Cindy, Thank you for your review we appreciate it. Whale Blessings from Spirit family.

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!

Magical experience
Wonderful cruise, wonderful staff, very knowledgeable. We saw so many whales, had a very magical experience.

Underwhelming
We saw a couple of spout exhausts and one whale at quite a distance away, near another boat, but it disappeared before we got closer. No return experience tickets were issued and it was a very under whelming experience. No photos taken as it would be all water.

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.

Sans regrets
Le bateau est bien, il reste longtemps de façon à bien voire les baleines. Ils indiquent correctement lorsque l'équipage voit les baleines. Pour moi, il y a trop de monde sur le bateau, je suis de petite taille et je n'ai pas pu tout voire. J'ai vu des baleines mais ayant des restrictions de sécurité sur le bateau, je n'ai pas pu voire toutes les baleines. Je suis assez déçue de ça. L'équipe prend un portrait de chaque groupe, ils les impriment et les proposent à la fin du tour à chacun. 25$ le souvenir, pour nous on trouvait ça cher. Et inadmissible d'imprimer sans savoir si les clients le voulait. Ce qui est très économique pour le groupe de la cruise. Je ne suis pas déçue car nous n'avons pas payé le prix fort, au réel prix de la sortie j'aurai été déçue. Mais on a vu des baleines.. c'est le principal
