Ocean Encounters

Brendan 13 October 2025

We had an amazing time on the whale watching cruise! The crew was knowledgeable and friendly. We were lucky enough to see several whales breaching, a pod of dolphins and two seals. It was also lovely how thoughtful the team were with catering for my wife and daughter with delicious dairy-free lunches, as they can’t eat the usual food. It really made them feel cared for and included. Would definitely recommend this experience to anyone visiting the area.

Customer Experience

Hi Brendan, your feedback is valuable to us, and we're happy to know you had a great experience. Thanks for sharing!

Great day out

Colin 30 October 2023

The cruise was very well organised - good food and very informative. We saw about 10 whales in about 4 or 5 different places, including a number of breaching whales. I couldn't have asked for more.

Saw 11 Humpbacks, seals and ate yummy food

Jac 10 October 2023

We had an amazing time on a beautiful day. The food was good, staff were great and it was just overall a lot of fun. Only improvement I could suggest is fixing the speaker system, as it was very difficult to hear the captains announcements in most of the viewing areas.

Brilliant experience

Kate 27 September 2023

Absolutely amazing

Jo 26 September 2023

The captain and crew were so professional and helpful. We were blessed to watch not only the seals and dolphins but 12 whales, it was breathtaking. Will definitely do this again

Simply Amazing and a must do!

Steven 23 September 2023

Awesome day out on the water lead by a knowledgeable Captain and an amazing crew. Got to see 6 whales plus dolphins, seals, penguins and array of birds 😁 Simply an experience that must be done 😁

An amazing experience to remember!

Geet 2 September 2023

I surprised my girlfriend for our anniversary and man can I say that this was literally mind blowing! We ended up seeing 6-7 whales and we were unable to move with being surrounded but that was a moment to remember!! Dolphins also should their appearance now and then but the whales just took the show away! I cannot compliment the staff and the captain! They were amazing the whole way and provided amazing support the whole 6 hours! They were also great with time and reached very much on time!

Whales Galore!

Heather 27 August 2023

We were treated to dozens of whales, breaching, pectoral slapping and playing in Bass Strait. The weather was gloomy and we never expected to see any, but it was the most wonderful experience. The staff team were fun and fabulous. Highly recommend this cruise from Port Welshpool.

Excellent tour!

Emma 11 October 2022

Such an excellent tour run by an amazing crew of people. The captain and all other crew on board were super friendly, approachable and knowledgeable which really helped make this trip extra special!
