Swimming with Humpback Whales
The experience was wonderful. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see any whales under the water on the day we went out, however, there was loads of activity on the surface with whales, dolphins and a turtle. The crew on the boat are awesome and keep you updated all day on where to sight the whales and when it's safe to get in the water. As with all wildlife encounters, everything is on their terms and you need to be ok with that.
Swimming with Whales
Had a lovely time with Aubree, got to see lots of whales. Swimming with whales was hard as they were on the move but I was lucky enough to swim with mum and her baby in the end. Dolphins and turtles were out and about also! Thank you 🤩

Not bad but not amazing either
It was a decent experience but definitely not the amazing stories we've heard of other people's experiences. Whale sightings were quite far away and there's no rotation of seating so those who got the best spots didn't leave so we found ourselves trying to move around constantly just to get a glimpse of anything. It was nice, just nothing spectacular and I'd go for a much smaller boat next time. Other people have also said they've managed to call whales over to their boats before which ours didn't do.

Review for Swim with Whales Tour
Not worth it
I was disappointed at this cruise given the cost of these tickets. We barely saw whales on this 3 hour tour, with a very brief whale sighting on the water surface leading to our boat having to leave the area due to overcrowding. After that, the boat spent over an hour on the waves with no other whales, and it was a rather long journey with no reward. The crew tried keep us updated however their microphone constantly cut in and out, meaning that instead of hearing updates and facts, and understanding why we were leaving the only area with whales, we just heard the cut up broken shouting intermittently. It would have been better had their technology worked, and if we’d had any meaningful whale sighting. The tour was also difficult to find, with the tour crew saying g they weren’t adrenaline tours, therefore leading us to run around searching the Wharf for Adrenaline Tours for 20mins
