Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Thoroughly enjoyed the whale watching experience so close to home having recently done another at Hervey Bay. They were quite different encounters with the whales in Moreton Bay much calmer than what we saw in Hervey Bay but on both trips the whales spent considerable time up close to the boat giving us the most amazing experience. The crew were very helpful and friendly and Captain Kerrie provided great information about the whales. There were also dolphin and turtle encounters which added a bit more magic to the day.

Really awesome tour - great whale sightings, expert commentary, friendly crew and even liked the music! Catered to our specific diets - one veg, one GF - with delicious lunches. Loved that the engines have been specifically designed to minimise disruption to whales.

This is my 5th cruise and the best as far as whale sitings go! Thank you to all who made our day worth it! Only reason for 4 stars is the lunch the quality of which has gone down over the years. We had premium seating on this tour. However most important thing is that we were happy with the sitings!

Had the best day with soooo many whale sightings. We saw mum whales with their baby’s, they were breaching and waving and slapping. The boat was perfect for viewings and the crew were fabulous. Highly recommend a day on the water with Brisbane Whale Watching

Are there special offers on at the moment due to the coronoviruse
Are we guaranteed to see whales? Do we get a refund if we don’t? And what happens if the weather forecast shows rain?

I’ve checked their website and they “offer a complimentary cruise for you on the next available departure if you don’t sight any whales on your day of travel. If it is cancelled due to tide and / or weather conditions, a seat on the next available cruise will be offered or a full refund will be given”

We went last Saturday 18th August. There were a number of pods just off the end of Moreton Island. It was a great day, very informative with lots of whales to be seen. Eye Spy the custom built catamaran is very stable with easy viewing decks and windows.
