Whale Watching Sydney’s 3hr Discovery Cruise is the best whale watching cruise in Sydney, combining high speed with 3 levels of viewing decks onboard Sydney’s best whale watching vessel Ocean Dreaming 2.
Thanks to the high top speed (almost 30kts) of our flag ship vessel Ocean Dreaming 2, it only takes 15 minutes from Circular Quay to the open ocean. That means less travel time through the harbour and more time watching whales compared to other, slower boats.
Ocean Dreaming 2 is Sydney’s largest purpose-built whale watching vessel. Enjoy unobstructed views from spacious wrap around decks over 3 levels. Check out the open top sun deck, providing 360 degrees of viewing!

On the 9th of June 2021 we unveiled a new-look for our flagship vessel Ocean Dreaming II to mark the commencement of our Aboriginal Whale Watching Experience and the start of the Sydney Solstice festival which runs until Sunday the 20th of June 2021.
Gomeroi artist Warwick Keen was selected to produce this beautiful piece of art that borrows from the Aboriginal tradition of bark carvings to aid in wayfinding when on country. It connects to the songlines of Aboriginal clans that intersect our waterways. To enhance the artwork, the vessel carries the names of the different clans of the Eora nation that abound the Sydney Harbour.
