I highly recommend the Brisbane Whale Watching Tour to anyone visiting Brisbane Don’t forget to book the VIP package, it was absolutely worth it. The seating area on the middle deck was very comfortable, and it was easy to access the outdoor viewing areas at the front and center of the boat All of the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. They even provided seasickness medication for passengers who needed it, and there was plenty of food and drinks available throughout the trip Since I was staying in the city center and the port was quite far away, I chose the VIP package with Brisbane transfers. Our driver, Ray, was very friendly and accommodating, making the whole experience smooth and stress-free Everything was easy, comfortable, and well-organized. Most importantly, we saw so many whales! 💛 A well-deserved 5-star experience. I would definitely do it again! 🐋✨

This experience tosses between a 5 star 🌟 for a wonderful whale watching experience with so many whales and a beautiful boat topped off by an almost perfect day. And a 3 at best 🌟. The picnic lunches are good. You're not disappointed but not wowed. My only issue. We payed top dollar for the captain's deck seating. It's a limited space so seating inside and first seating is nice. But that's as far as the extra price gets you. Your "guarantee window seating" can have people from anywhere on the boat leaning against your window from outside completely blocking any inside viewing. Your VIP seating area is on the top deck of two seating areas. This means nothing, the entire boat is accessible by everyone. Not only can you not view anything from inside your also still elbow to elbow with everyone else who payed less then half of what you did. Don't let them rip you off, enjoy the experience with everyone else without the scam. The experience is absolutely amazing. But do not, pay for anything but the basic pricing.

Absolutely incredible, amazing views of the (very curious) whales which came right up to the boat for over an hour, really nice lunch too! There was also a medical issue on board which the staff handled really well, very helpful and efficient 😊

Lovely tour, saw a few different pods of whales which is obviously what we wanted. They were pretty calm though so only really captured the coming up for air moments. However we didn’t depart until 10:45 due to the bus being held up with other passengers. Not the operators fault but there was no effort to make the time up. Returned to the jetty just before 2:30pm considering when booking it says the tour runs for approx 5.5 hours this is unacceptable to me. If we had stayed out on the water for those extra 45mins we could have potentially gotten better footage/more activity. Or at the least got what was paid for.

Had a great day out on the Eye Spy vessel yesterday 12/7/25. We saw a couple of pods of whales so up close and playful. Jumping out of the water and breaching a lot. The crew are so friendly and welcoming. The boat is clean and well maintained. We saw turtles and dolphins and a hammerhead shark. I was so pleased with my trip yesterday. The weather was great too. Definitely recommend this.
