We had the best time with Mackay whale watching. The family who runs it were all so friendly and captain Bill is a hoot!

They knew exactly where… read more to go for the whales. Captain never gets too close but you are definitely close enough for amazing photos don’t worry about that! After we’d seen the orcas we saw a bear foraging on the beach then he said we were off to the humpbacks! Saw lots of humpbacks and seals and some sea lions. Dolphins and porpoises too!

The lunch served was hot and delicious and dessert too.
Your left at 10 and we got back at 3pm. It was the perfect amount of time. The staff were super knowledgeable and could tell us which whales we were looking at.

I will DEFINITELY be booking with them next time we go up that way! The scenery in between the islands was absolutely beautiful I can’t wait to return.
