Definitely Recommend! A Wonderful Birthday Experience!
I booked a Brisbane Whale Watching Cruise for my birthday and it did not disappoint! All staff on board were very friendly, helpful, knowledgeable & accommodating to everyone’s needs. Staff shared some great information about the whales. On the day, the weather was perfect which made it even better to be out on the water. Lunch provided by staff was a great choice and had a variety of fruits, meats and salads. The whales were very social which made it the perfect photo opportunity when they swam up close. There were many pods, so you’ll definitely be guaranteed sightings. I would strongly recommend Brisbane Whale Watching as the place to book if you’re interested in sighting some whales on migration! It’s definitely a great experience for any age and worth your money!

Awesome experience. Captain Kerry and her crew were knowledgeable, informative and fun. We would definitely recommend this trip.
Definitely recommend this trip. We didn't expect to see as many whales and feel special to see a mega pod... so special! Expectations were totally exceeded and the lunch was tasty and fresh. The captain and staff were knowledgeable and helpful... nothing was too hard for them A+

It was a great day out whilst seeing a lot of whales.
We had a great day out seeing the whales yesterday. The only downside would be, that it’s not very infant-friendly... even though it was free for an infant, you couldn’t bring a pram or stroller and there were no options for food. You couldn’t even purchase another lunch pack.
