AI summary of 36 reviews
Travellers consistently praise the guides for their knowledge, professionalism and friendliness, as well as the frequent dolphin sightings and exhilarating high-speed boat experience. What stands out most often is the combination of thrilling wave-jumping and donuts on the water with the opportunity to observe dolphins in their natural habitat and see the Noosa coastline and national park from the water. The guides are noted for their accommodating nature, communication and safety focus, including flexibility when following dolphins and attentiveness to passengers with varying needs. The most common caveat is that the ride is rough and bumpy over the waves, which may not suit those who are fragile or uncomfortable with intense motion, though this is also presented as part of the appeal for those seeking an adrenaline-fuelled adventure.
How we collect and publish reviews
Where they come from. Our reviews are gathered from independent review sites and from guests who share feedback with us directly after their trip. They come from people who have actually travelled on the tour. Some longer trips are made up of shorter tours we also sell, run back to back — where a review was written about one of those legs, the review says so.
Why some are edited. Many of our guests travel in their second or third language. Where a review is hard to read, we lightly edit spelling, grammar and punctuation, or paraphrase a sentence for clarity. We never change the rating, the meaning or the sentiment, and we never write a review on a guest's behalf.
Reading the originals. Reviews sourced from public review sites appear there in their original form, and can be read in full at their original source at any time.
“Fabulous trip”
An excellent trip where we saw so many dolphin pods. The captain knew a lot about the ocean and the local area.
“Dolphins”
Very informative, happy to show off the local coastline, and we found dolphins. The sea was quite choppy but we felt really safe and it was very professional.
“Dolphins and a turtle”
A great time on a beautiful day, getting up close to dolphins and a turtle. Our seven-year-old found crossing the bar a little scary, but loved it once the dolphins appeared.
“Amazing experience”
Amazing. We saw lots of dolphins and learnt a lot about the ocean, and the instructor was friendly, helpful and well organised.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What an unforgettable experience. We saw dolphins…”
We saw dolphins almost straight away, including babies swimming and playing beside the boat. Mike was friendly and knew exactly where to find them, and what stood out was how respectful he was of their space. Calm, special and thoughtfully run.
“Don’t Miss This!”
We're a family of five from Canada and it was incredible. Knowledgeable owners, two schools of dolphins including a tiny baby, beautiful views of the national park and an exhilarating ride. Brent was fantastic.
