Excellent tour

Published on Jun, 2024

We went on this tour (first of the whale watching season) for our 25th wedding anniversary and it was great, didn't see whales (always luck) but lots of other animals.

Whale watching experience

Published on Jun, 2024

It was an amazing experience the staff on the boat were so genuine and nice. We did see one whale which was awesome but the seals were amazing. So was the dolphins swimming along the side of the boat.

Winter Whale watching

Published on Jul, 2023

Our Phillip Island Winter Whale watching tour was a great success. We saw two separate groups of humpback whales, numerous dolphins swimming and jumping right beside the boat, and dozens of seal pups playing in the water at Seal Rocks. The water was quite rough at times but we are OK sailors and did not become unwell. The staff are very attentive and knowledgeable, and they served up some delicious treats for us. The design of the boat makes it quite easy for everyone to get a good view, from in or outside

Best experience

Published on Jun, 2023

We weren’t sure if we will see any whales but we ended up experiencing what the crew described as the best they have seen for the season! The crew were continuously searching to ensure that we get the experience and the results was amazing. The crew itself were friendly and everything is hassle free.

I recommend !

Published on Jun, 2023

The cruise was fantastic. The crew were very friendly with a sense of humour and take good care of the visitors which made the whole experience much more enjoyable! We were lucky enough to see whales and fur seals. The crew even held a vote to see what the visitors preferred to do (continue or return to a spot where we were sure of seeing whales that had been seen before). The crew knows how to react when people are seasick. I recommend this extraordinary experience! (Lunch on board could be a bonus point !)
