Took the 2 hour dolphin cruise. From time of booking to on-board interaction - I received very personal attention from the owners and Ros. Amazing since there was also a large tour group on board.

My wife and I used Cat Balou to see the humpback whales that frolic around Eden from September to November during their migration. We found Cat Balou to be a very professional operation, the commentary was just right and knowledgeable.

The caring...
