Double Trouble! A mum and calf pair showing us some synchronized action this afternoon!
As we headed North this afternoon, past Manly and Curl Curl, we witnessed breach after breach from a mother, calf and juvenile whale. They were playing in the swell and showing us some huge airborne displays! ... See MoreSee Less
A stunning calm cruise this morning, tracking multiple pods heading south. We had a lively calf leaping out the water near Bondi followed by whales in all directions.

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 can’t 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.
