    A fantastic experience. Weather was perfect and they lived up to their promise of "100% you will see whales". We saw several pods. But we spent at least an hour being entertained by a pod of 5 swimming around, beside and under the boat on multiple occasions. They seemed to be having as much fun as we were! The staff were friendly and most helpful, from the lovely girl who took our booking to the crew on board the vessel. The boat was spotless with plenty of room to move around, the captain's commentary was very informative about the whales, and food was freshly prepared, yummy and plentiful. We did the morning cruise and now plan to return to do the afternoon/sunset dinner cruise at some time. All in all, a memory to last a life a lifetime.

    We had a wonderful day with Whalesong Cruises going to K’gari/Fraser Island. The staff were fantastic and made it a memorable day for all. The water is so lovely to swim in, and the beach spot at K’gari was beautiful and unspoiled. We all enjoyed the water activities. I got some beautiful photographs of the natural landscape including a white-bellied sea eagle and we also saw a large turtle swimming. Lovely morning tea and lunch. Can’t wait to do the whale watching tour next.

    Great experience. All the staff were great, the way they worked together and ran the meal times was very impressive. The captains knowledge was great and the talks very interesting. It was amazing to see the whales with their calves and the amount of different behaviors they do. We were worried about cruising with many people, we did our research and saw the boat size and capacity limit for Whalesong. When we were onboard the captain and staff experience around managing people was very kind and calm. Whales were visible from both sides of the boat and boarding was easy. This means we didn't miss out, we had a calm and happy time and could just enjoy the experience. Highly recommend.

    Our excellent day out started with being collected from our accommodation , followed by a quick easy boarding process. The Captain of the “Whalesong “ came down to let everyone know about the weather forecast, enabling some to come back for the afternoon cruise. A very nice morning tea was served as the boat made its way to the best whale viewing sites. After about half an hour of cruising , we came across a whale encounter to be remembered. Two frisky young males competing for the attention of a larger female! Several more interactions followed until we came upon 3 young males who became curiouser and curiouser! We were all fascinated to watch them checking us out! As we neared the end of our cruise, a healthy, satisfying lunch was served, before more whales were observed, bringing our total to 17!. The weather stayed fine, wind dropped and the watered calmed. Another beautiful day in paradise! This outing with Windsong Cruises is great value for money, the crew were caring and knowledgeable and the boat was very clean, modern and safe. We would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a memorable encounter with humpback whales!
