1300 Whales Cruise Review

Some local English friends picked 1300 WHALES cruise because they weren't confident going on boats!  

They are from the UK so I can understand that!  I was pretty unused to going on boats until I came to Australia!

They did their research on the different options for whale watching and picked this tour...
because it was the largest whale watching boat in the marina!

1300 Whales Cruise Review

1300 Whales is also known as Whale Watching Gold Coast

It is run by Tall Ship who have a fleet of sailing boats and catamarans and offer a range of cruises and trips to their exclusive island hideaway at McLaren's Landing on South Stradbroke Island.

Their whale watching trip was during the June/July school holidays - so it was pretty early in the season with whales only going north.

Needless to say, there were whales to see, they saw them and thoroughly enjoyed the cruise.

Overall, it was a smooth and comfortable trip.

That said, they were glad they hadn't eaten a full breakfast before they left!

And were equally thankful it was only a couple of hours on the water!

They had never seen anything like the majestic and enormous humpback whales and were totally blown away by the whole experience.

Were they glad they had put their apprehension behind them to go on the boat?

Talking to them about the trip and seeing their faces light up when they talked about what they saw pretty much says it all! It was definitely an experience they will cherish in their memories for the rest of their lives and they are certainly glad they did not miss it.

Their parting comment to me was that is was:

great value for such an incredible experience
