Saw humpback whales breaching & cavorting throughout the trip. Dolphins appeared too. The crew were friendly, informative and professional throughour and were clearly passionate about marine ecology. A brilliant and fun trip throughout!

I had family visiting from the UK and whale watching was on their bucket list. I have been on a couple of tours before but this was the best by far. The small group size, excellent knowledgeable commentary and care taken to ensure we had the best time was fantastic- I highly recommend this trip. Thank you.

Booked the whale watching tour for my family visiting Gold Coast for the first time. Had the most amazing time, managed to see 4 pods of whales plus the added bonus of some dolphins! Crew was super helpful and had lots of interesting information about humpbacks. Must do activity if visiting Gold Coast during migration season.

Best whale watching trip ever, small intimate boat, comfy seats, due to the type of boat we were really close to the water and able to see everything clearly. Two whales put on an epic show swimming under the boat and popping up on both sides saying hello. Was really special. Also great view from the water of the Southern GC and Tweed coastline with Wollumbin in the background.

What a fun afternoon- the thrill of searching for whales and finding them, and then having up close encounters. We also had a friendly pod of dolphins hang out with us and a turtle

Cooly Eco Tours - Whale watching experience was awesome. We loved every minute of our time out looking for whales. Even in choppy conditions the experience was awe inspiring.

When the whales went under our boat. They were so close, you could see their eyes looking at us. The crew were very knowledgeable and were just as excited as we were to see them so close
