  • Paradise48422759638 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Unbelievable experience!! There’s not more to say than this is an unbelievable experience!! We were picked up and taken early and had a very enjoyable and knowledgable journey to the bay. It started as a slightly grey and quiet day but that changed quickly. The sun came out and so did the whales. They tour guides were amazing and knew all the whales names ages and spotted them really early (which i know is unpredictable) and followed them all day with multiple sighting of single males, groups and babies! (I’m not good at catching them on camera though) I would recommend this to anyone. Although if you are prone to sickness a warning to get tablets - we luckily were ok but it nearly was a very expensive sleep for my husband - and we were lucky it was a calmer day (which is still pretty choppy) Then picked up and dropped home - thank you so much for a great experience Read more Written 29 April 2024
  • sargesita 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles Tour was cancelled ONE HOUR before it was scheduled to start & they didn't let me know I’m really disappointed and quite unimpressed with how the cancellation of the tour was handled. The tour was cancelled ONE HOUR before it was scheduled to start because the minimum number of people was not met. It seems I was called an hour before the tour was supposed to start, but no message was left, so I didn’t think it required an urgent callback when I missed it. Moreover, there was no follow-up email or text to inform me that the tour had been cancelled, so I went to the meeting place as expected and waited around 15 minutes before I realised that no guide was showing up. I then received an email over an hour after the tour was scheduled to start saying that the tour had been cancelled and my ticket refunded [I've attached a screenshot]. Cancelling a tour ONE HOUR before it is scheduled to start and then not informing me is really appalling customer service. Read more Written 29 April 2024

  • Fergierc 0 contributions 2.0 of 5 bubbles Tourible First time visitors to Albany and weren’t here for long so wanted to get the most out of our stay. We booked this tour and looked forward to it. We rocked up on the morning with 3 other passenger’s and off we set. The driver, I don’t know his name as he didn’t introduce himself or anything about our day, had in-depth knowledge of rock and boulder formation in the area, fossils, shark attacks and real estate etc but little of the history, anything we gained was from the information of our stops. The tour could have been arranged and booked by ourselves, there was very little gain of the history etc for the amount we paid and felt the tour was overvalued for what we got.

Onto The Gap where you can walk out on this steel structure over the waves pounding into a granite channel 82 feet down and also see the Natural Bridge which is a granite arch made by thundering waves, wind, rain and time. Quite amazing. A good time was had by all and would recommend to one and all especially if visiting by cruise ship Read more Written 28 February 2024

We both found it such a relaxing way to spend the day taking in art at a number of galleries and indulging in a splendid lunch at Ducketts Mill. The artists at each venue welcomed us on arrival and explained their processes and works to us and in a couple of places, took us out back to see their workshops. Our tour guide, Tim, was great and we enjoyed some interesting conversations with him along the way. I'm a local in the region, and while I could have driven my car to the venues, the special treatment the artists provided, together with the relaxation of being chauffeured around and not be concerned with directions or timing made this tour so worthwhile. I will definitely do this tour again. Read more Written 2 October 2023

We were picked up at the cruise port and it turned out all the people on my tour were from my cruise ship. There were 10 people on my tour in a minibus. We had ample time at all of the attractions and our guide walked with us and gave explanations and answered any questions. Our guide loved Albany and gave a lot of information about the city too. We stopped for a delicious scone and hot chocolate at the Whaling Station. Torndirrup National Park is a must see when in Albany. We also visited The Albany Wind Farm. Read more Written 2 May 2023
