An amazing experience saw lots of whales, seals and dolphins. The crew were friendly and helpful keeping everyone informed where the whales were and then later pointing out the seals which were a little harder to spot. I would recommend Moonshadow Cruises for an unforgettable experience

I would 100% recommend Lake Macquarie Houseboats to anyone. We hired the 45-feet houseboat with nine of us in total onboard, and we had a great time. The boat was supplied with everything you need for a great four-day long weekend. It was plenty big enough for all of us. David and Leanne were super helpful and awesome. They provided us with all the information we needed.
