From Whale Watching Without The Crowds - Mooloolaba
Reading this sort of review makes our team so proud. This is what we aim for with our boat, crew and service. The little things like, whale information, snacks, luxury seating and space. All make for a nice experience but then it's up to the whales. :) It has been a good season this year and we are so pleased you got to enjoy it with us.

Awesome afternoon
This was an awesome way to see the whales. The boat only has a capacity of 25 so there is plenty of room at the rails to watch them. No jostling for position to catch a glimpse. Staff on board were extremely knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the whales.

Great tour operators
Great staff and great owners. While few whales (which clearly they couldn't control) couldn't be more pleasant, helpful and obliging. Highly recommend for a non crowded friendly experience.

Thanks Jacqui for the wonderful review. Yes - venturing out into an uncontrolled environment can have it's highs and lows. When you see them in their natural surroundings it's an amazing feeling to be part of it but being able to make that Ah Ha moment every trip is hard. :) We are pleased you enjoyed your trip with us and hope to see you again some time. From all of us here at Sunshine Coast Afloat

The whole trip was an incredible experience. The team was super friendly and gave all to make the most out of the trip. We had beautiful encounters with a lot of whales.
