We saw both whales and a pod of super cute dolphins, but even if we hadn’t, it would have been a great trip. Jake, the skipper was very knowledgeable about all things whale and a great “driver” too!
I had the most incredible time whale watching with Adventure Rafting in Mooloolaba! Our skipper, Rod, was amazing — his passion for the ocean and whales really shone through. He was full of knowledge and shared so many fascinating facts about the whales that I had never heard before.
Despite the huge swell yesterday, Rod handled the boat with absolute skill and confidence. He manoeuvred through the waves so smoothly that I never once felt scared — in fact, the ride was fun and exhilarating!
If you're thinking about going whale watching in Mooloolaba, I highly recommend Adventure Rafting. It’s not just a tour — it’s an experience you won’t forget!
Our 2 crew were fantastic and informative. The boat is great and we had plenty of fun.
The vessel was very sea worthy.
The crew of two were excellent both in knowledge of whales and the understanding of the vessel that they controlled.
The downside of the vessel were the 4 seats at the rear positioned directly behind the console where we had been seated. (seat's 20)
The field of view was very restricted as per photos.
We were told that we could stand and move a little but that didn't seem very practical as we would only block someone else's field of view.
All the staff and crew were all very pleasant and I guess Adventure Rafting are only trying to make a buck.
It left us feeling a bit guilty about participating in disturbing the whale migration. It won't happen again.
We had mother and baby humpbacks playing around the boat for a long time, and on a smaller boat with fewer people, the views were amazing!
Highly recommend here and to friends and family.
A truly amazing day! 🐳
We saw loads of whales and even a calve,
Will deffo recommend to my friends!
Humbled by the experience. This is the first time we have had such close encounters. Loved it and highly recommend Adventure Rafting, Mooloolaba.
We had a fantastic time.
I would recommend this cruise 100%
The tour was advertised online as "Power across the crystal clear waters of Mooloolaba during this action - packed rafting adventure. in a 350 horse power boat, your experienced skipper will perform high speed turns and wave rides that will keep you on the edge of your seat"
It was nothing like that it was not a 350 horse power engine boat, there was no "high speed turns" it was more like a gentle cruise down the river learning about the multi million dollar homes, the eco system and the wildlife?
If you want a gentle cruise down the river with various wildlife and local points of interest being pointed out then this is for you. I have contacted the tour provider with our disappointment and to be honest they really seem like they don't care. Make sure you understand what you are paying for!
We had an amazing whale watching trip, with the added bonus of no sea sickness at all !!! Due to the speed of the boat.
????
Thank you to Zoe & Jakey for being so helpful and knowledgable throughout.
Would really recommend booking a whale watching tour, such an unforgettable experience!
& if you guys are reading this, would love to see the drone footage from that other boat you radioed ;)
Thank you to Brendan and Hayden for being excellent guides and, in particular, to Brendan for his humour and sharing lots of interesting facts about the whales :)))
Although we didn’t find any others I was happy that she respected them and didn’t annoy them.
An enjoyable experience.
Ian & Adel
The best part was the team, they explained so well about the whales and they were so nice.

Thanks guys.
Shelley & Scotty
If we ever need an MC/DJ we’re calling you guys. Thanks for making our holiday special. As the Travel Guides would say….’We give our Adventure tour 5 stars out of 5 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️
We had booked for a particular date but had to change it due to travelling sooner than expected and the staff were so accommodating and made it happen for us. We were so thrilled.
Would highly recommend! Just be aware that the jumps can be quite jarring on your back/knees :)
Funny guys and had everyone laughing, definitely a must do.
