Professional onboard photographers will capture memorable moments of your trip and share the photos daily on our social media so you can sit back and enjoy the experience.

Glenn has a wealth of knowledge and experience in this field. He is attentive and funny too which made the trip even better. Huge thanks to him for such an incredible experience and one I’ll never forget.
Thanks to the guide !
I would defenelty recommand it if you pass around there. Memorable experience !!
There is such an amazing variety of marine life to be seen, no matter which time of year you venture out.
Highly recommended!
1. Whale watching with wild Byron
2. Snorkelling Julian rocks with wild Byron
We also shouldn't forget Floki, Glenn's best pal. The kids couldn't get enough of that lovely dog!
Could of stayed out there all day
Thank you
P.S.: these incredible photos were taken by Glenn ????????????
We were both abit nervous about motion sickness. Would recommend taking some tablets or ginger etc before and during the trip. There was abit of swell when we went.
Don’t waste your time researching other tours, pick this one!!
Glen is a complete whale expert. He is so knowledgeable and happy to answer any of your whale questions.
Glen ensured everyone felt really comfortable during the tour so if you have any reservations about the boat journey itself, no need to worry.
Even aside from the wildlife the boat trip itself is super fun. Other tours leave from Ballina but Glen leaves from Brunswick which is a shorter drive from Byron.
Thank you Glen, we’ll be back!
We could not have wished for a more special experience. The three pods which you introduced us to all exhibited different "moods".. from serene trumpeting to quite the acrobatic display.
We look forward to coming back every year, along with "Curly Tail".
The staff were polite and answered all our questions. They looked after us very well e.g., when I said that I was not a strong swimmer, they suggested that I use a noodle while snorkelling and this worked out well for me. They spotted turtles for us so that we could have the best experience viewing them up close.
Afterwards, they sent us photos of the two of us swimming with the turtles. We highly recommend Wild Byron!
Glen is awesome at what he does and has provided me with some of the most magnificent encounters with the humpbacks migrating! He is very educated around all marine animals and provided lots of information about lots of ocean life in a really fun way throughout the whale watching cruise. Glen was also extremely respectful towards all marine animals and provided the most peaceful and comfortable encounter, always respecting the animals whilst keeping the boat at a safe distance, but the whales felt so comfortable they came right near the boat anyway it was incredible!
I’ve also been lucky enough to see turtles, sharks and had dolphins playing in the waves created by the boat, but having whales come right up to the boat, breaching near enough to see their beauty and power, that has to be my favourite part of this experience.
Whether you’re solo and a wildlife lover /photographer, a couple or family wanting an adventure I honestly could not recommend this experience more highly.
10/10 and I’ll be going again!!!
Glenn was funny, knowledgeable and made every effort to ensure everyone felt safe and included. He especially went out of his way to see marine life on our way and on our way back for the snorkelling grounds. Seeing a large pod of dolphins.
Highly recommend this local charter!
You will be in the water with an experienced person who will show you sharks and rays which you maybe won‘t see by yourself!
I loved it!
