Something must have been in the water today as we had several pods put on a show and double breach right next to our boats.
This photo was taken onboard our 3hr Discovery Cruise, but we also had multiple double breaches next to our 2hr Express Cruise a few miles closer to the coast.
No official photographer onboard that one unfortunately, so if you were lucky enough to get a few good photos, we would love to see them in the comments! ... See MoreSee Less
Our run of great whale watching cruises continues π
We spotted a couple of breaches straight after leaving Sydney Harbour which lead us to a competition pod of 4 out-splashing each other!
We spent a good hour with them before we decide to look for some more whales which didn't take us long as we came across another competition pod of 5 not too far from the first one.
Our total for the day would have been an easy 15+ as there were other whales within the area, too.
Weather for the next 3 days looks great for whale watching, so we can't wait to get out there again π₯³π₯³ ... See MoreSee Less
A beautiful day on the ocean, and a couple of great whales who spent an hour close by the boat going back and forth from one side to the other and treating us with the occasional tail-throw.
Conditions will get even better as the week progresses, and we can't wait to see what is in store for us. ... See MoreSee Less

Almost all of the whales are cruising south by the time August rolls around, with the odd exception of one or two slow individuals doing their best to catch up...
My experience was amazing I say Whales breaching it was fantastic. And the crew on the boat made my experiences a great and safe place to be.

Weather was a bit miserable, but the boat made it comfortable. The crew had their finger on the pulse out there and when whales were spotted by a sister boat, we were taken quickly to a perfect viewing spot. The whales repeatedly breached, including a double breach from the pair. We got great photos and finished the voyage pumped.

The boat, crew and overall experience was fabulous! Whales were promised and wow we were blown away, we canβt believe that we saw whales breaching and tail slapping so close we felt at times we could almost touch them. This crew have perfected the tour with an onboard Marine Biologist and happy, easygoing but safe attitude.

Once we got out of the Harbor, we started seeing whales. They were jumping and feeding and just cruising along side the boat!! The crew were all super friendly and helpful and kept the trip fun and interesting.

Whale Watching Sydney. Another excellent trip with lots of whales observed. If you book online suggest you tick the extra option for getting the professional photos. Good commentary on what you are seeing

Must to do with kids. Amazing experience with kids. Must to do if in Sydney. There is big difference watching whale compared to other animals as the shear size of whale and they move is magnificent.

great photos, looks great!
Guess what? We had another great day of whale watching! π
We followed a competition pod just outside the harbour entrance and saw some great tail throws and pectoral fin slapping.
We then headed south looking for more and came across another dozen or so whales and are currently watching some seals as i am typing this... π
Fingers crossed for a great day tomorrow! ... See MoreSee Less
