Surrounded by them and they played relaxed around us. Very experienced operator Glenn made this trip unforgettable. Boat has not toilet and office neither. Boat seats are comfortable. You sit low so close encounters are possible. Best of whale 3 watching tours I have done. Highly recommended to wear warm clothes.
Would always choose him as a guide for another whale watching
The ride out was fast, bumpy and a whole lot of fun as we bounced across the waves before reaching the open ocean. Throughout the tour, Glen's number one priority was our safety. He constantly checked on everyone, explained what to expect, and made sure we all felt comfortable and safe on the water.
We were lucky enough to witness these magnificent whales in their natural habitat. Watching them play and glide effortlessly through the ocean was simply breathtaking. Every time we had the camera ready, they would disappear, then the moment we put it down, they would leap into the air! Thankfully, Glen captures incredible photos throughout the tour and shares them on Facebook and Instagram afterwards, allowing you to put your camera away, relax and truly enjoy the experience. I have attached my photos but they don't do justice to the experience.
What really stood out was Glen's commitment to making the tour unforgettable. He took the time to ensure everyone had plenty of opportunities to see the whales and didn't rush back until we had all enjoyed some amazing sightings.
Glen also treated the group to a cup of tea and delicious homemade cookies.
I also need to say for those interested the boat is equipped with straddle-style seating, which may not be comfortable for everyone.
If you're thinking about whale watching, don't hesitate to book with Wild Byron. An amazing tour, an outstanding skipper, highly recommended!
As a fellow photographer, he understands light and positioning for the best possible photo opportunities and goes out of his way to place the vessel in the right position for other photographers success. Glenn will literally go the extra mile for his guests...sometimes many!
If you’re in Byron Bay or Brunswick Heads, please take a trip out with @wildbyronseasafaris, Glenn is the best in the business, an absolute legend.

The conditions were awesome, the sea life was amazing and the team were brilliant. We plan on coming back from nz to do the whale watching when we can.
Glenn and Goshia were so friendly and made the tour fun.
Go and take a look guaranteed it will be better than reading a review
The highlights were definitely the grey nurse sharks, a spotted eagle ray, and countless other amazing marine creatures. On the way back, we even got a glimpse of the last humpbacks of the season – a mother and her calf. We also really appreciate the deep respect shown for the land and the animals. Thank you for that!
It was an incredible experience — we saw whales up close, right next to the boat! Glen taught us so much about them, and his passion really made the trip unforgettable. I highly recommend it!
Our whale watching tour was unforgettable, we saw so many whales up close, and the whole trip was just amazing from start to finish. A special shout-out to our guide, who was not only super knowledgeable but also genuinely funny, his commentary kept everyone smiling and made the day even more special. You can tell they really love what they do. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting, it’s an absolute must-do!
