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

Spent an absolutely amazing morning on the Moonshadow MV Spirit for a whale watching cruise. Cruise was all we could have hoped for. Saw whales, fur seals and even had a pod of dolphins join us. Highly recommend this experience. Katherine

We booked an 18th birthday gift surprise for my daughter who loved every minute of the cruise. She had never seen dolphins up close or ever been out on the water that long - or as far out! She loved seeing dolphins and penguins and our family loved the net and slide. Great day! Tabatha

Moonshadow cruises provided a wonderful night for my family celebrating my mumâ€™s 75th birthday and she had a ball. Her eyes lit up when she saw the delicious buffet of prawns and oysters Then the DJ got started with the music and we couldnâ€™t get her off the dance floor. Thankyou. Kim

We enjoyed the one hour and a half dolphin cruise and saw dolphins almost as soon as we left the marina. The crew were really nice and the kids had a ball. We had a dinner cruise with Moonshadow before and that was also great. Highly recommend! Cade

I live locally and I will be going out with the Moonshadow guys again! Wonderful experience cruising with a friendly crew. We are fortunate to have an abundance of whales breaching and swimming in these waters. Twice they came right up to the boat. This was just magical.
