We went on a morning cruise on a weekday during the school holidays. The trip was absolutely amazing. We saw a great number of whales, some of which came right near and under our boat. We even got to see whales jumping, which the captain purposely gave us more time for, even though it meant the boat getting back late... More

Very happy, we looked at all the whale watching tours in the area. I am so glad we went with Spirit. We choose a half day and it was plenty of time. They have the biggest boat so could cover a larger area. The boat was very clean heaps of viewing decks, heaps of room not crowded at all. Had... More

We had a great morning cruise recently, despite the unusually choppy conditions. Usually the bay is sheltered, but we experienced high winds and very rough seas. The staff did their best to help those who were sea sick... luckily that wasn't us! The upside of rough weather is lots of activity from the whales. We saw several pods including many... More

From the moment we boarded the boat until the time we left, it was an amazing day through and through. The staff were extremely friendly and approachable, and added to the experience. The crew went out of their way to make sure every one was comfortable and enjoyed their day on the water. There were plenty of whales out and... More

What a pleasurable experience; from the time we boarded the boat we were welcomed by a great and very attentive crew. the boat is large enough for 40 people to spend the day together without feeling cramped. The refreshemnts and meals were home made and very tasty. The crew is knowledgeable on the whales and thew coastline so without sounding... More

Have been on a couple of whale watch tours and love Spirit. Knowledgeable crew, fabulous day out and great photos! Morning tours suit me better and I always find Spirit large enough, clean, great viewing and all in all a great way to get to know some of the whales. Trying to find the time to slip off to see...

On arrival at the ferry terminal, Spirit of the Hervey Bay has the largest ferry we could see in the jetty. The ferry is new and clean. The out-going ride was very rough and many passengers became sea-sick. The staffs were very knowledgeable and helpful but were so busy running around offering help. I noticed this lady staff named Charlie.... More

The boat probably only had about 30 people on it, which was great for us. They supplied loads of cake and biscuits and cups of tea or coffee. We found some whales, but they weren't that active, which isn't the tour operators fault! But we still got up and personal, got some great pics and the staff were fantastic. Recommend... More

We went on the Spirit today on the afternoon tour. A tour guide said it is less busy on the afternoon tours. Firstly, the boat is one of the largest in the Hervey bay area. From the toilets, seating areas & furnishings this boat is exceptionally clean & absolutely fantastic to be on. I usually get sea sick on boats... More
