it was so fun! the boat was clean, and the captain tried very hard to locate whales for us. we even got to see two whales coming up to the suface together. unfortunately we didnt see any jumps or dolphins but the seals were a cute addition. the boat ride was exciting. i would definitely go again if i had more time. the waves are very bumpy. i recommend taking motion sickness pill if you are not good with water.
This cruise is by Moonshadow-TQC cruises. Captain and his team are amazing, cruise us out to Tasman Sea passing Zenith beach, Tomaree and Yacaaba headlands views and patiently wait and search for whales. we saw many many many humpback whales from far and close up. Inside the cuirse had chairs and tables and very comfortable, but we were mostly outside/on top whale watching.
Experience and polite crew to help us find the whales and seals. The boat is comfortable and clean. We were lucky to see whales several times and for 2 times, whale was rather cloase, around 80 meters from us.
5-star praise. The boat set sail on time for 5 minutes. I saw a dolphin tail. 55 minutes. I saw a whale tail in the middle of the sea. The whole boat rioted. 65 minutes, I saw 4 whales spouting water, but they were very far away. It's amazing. You can also order Moonshadow at klook.
We’re fortunate enough to be able to see whales and dolphins!! Captain and crews are friendly and will try to spot for whales.
Very organised company to deal with. The fleet was laso nice, will book again if we have to visit Port Stephens
Its very good we can watch whale couples time.unfortunately my in-law got sea sick but the whole experience was awesome.thank you
Fell asleep on the return trip on the boat! I saw a lot of whales very close. It was a pity that I didn’t jump! But it's still worth it!
It is very fantastic trip. Staff are very well. Our kid are happy.
It was easy to use Klook for the cruise. It was uncertain that we would see a whale, but I guess we were lucky and managed to take the perfect moment when the whale jumped and flipped. On the way back, we managed to see some dolphins too. It was a good trip.
