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!

Awesome. Convenient pick up from CBD all the way to ferry but had to wait awhile till boarding time. Saw mother and child for a few times really can see upclose and hear them. They have a marine biologist on board to share information and even answer your questions. Awesome. I will join again if I am in perth
