Fantastic experience - got up close and personal with a huge pod of whales who were keen to perform for us!
Wonderful experience to see the humpback whales. Great weather and timing let me saw many of them. Good information from the Marine Biologist as well.
Complimentary pick up and drop off from CBD hotels was appreciated. The tour lasted 2 hours and we got to watch a mother whale and her calf. It was amazing. We had a marine scientist on board who explained everything whale related. Recommended.
To be able to see these majestic and beautiful mammals in their natural habitat doing their thing was truly a breathtaking experience! Ticked off my bucket list! I will go again next time I am in Perth! Highly recommended!
Excellent, the marine biologist was very professional.
It was a fantastic experience and the staff were very professional. Captain was fabulous and found the best spots to view humpbacks!
