Summary: We have had 3 trips with Pete & they were all excellent. Pete’s knowledge of whales was great. Boat was very clean and all safety precautions are taken. Food - regular tasty snacks and a delicious healthy cold lunch was served. Certainly recommend Blue Dolphin Tours

Summary: We had a great time. Our hosts could not have been more helpful. We were well served with tea and coffee and morning tea. Lunch was delicious and had on our way back from spending a great time with the whales. They came alongside and played then ducked under the boat to re emerge with a water spout. Our captain and his lady crew were on the lookout telling us where the whales were appearing as the whales surrounded out boat. A great experience, thank you Blue Dolphin.

Summary: My friend and I had the best time, the crew were so welcoming and friendly, not to mention they were constantly looking out for any marine life! We were so lucky and got to see 2 types of dolphins, dugongs and a humpback whale, which was a huge surprise as we went pre-season. 10000% would recommend to anyone coming to Hervey Bay!
