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!
