How it works.
We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land and waterways on which our business operates. We pay our respects to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders past, present and emerging.
Our whale watching season has of course finished, but arguably one of the best days of the year on Sydney Harbour is on Boxing Day with the start of the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race!
Each Boxing Day, the eyes of the world turn to Sydney Harbour. The Sails rise. The cannon fires. The adventure begins! Over 600 nautical miles of grit, glory, a southern ocean challenge.
An event that has shaped legends, tested champions and inspired generations for almost 80 years.
Join us for an unforgettable experience, watching the start of the race on Sydney Harbour and then follow the fleet offshore!

THATS ALL FOLKS! 🐋❤️🐋
We have reached the end of our 2025 Whale Watching Season, and what a season it’s been! From mind blowing breaching, excitable young whales, and even the encounter of a lifetime with the white whale Siale, it’s been incredible.
Our very last cruise of the year ended on a high, with a mum and calf putting on a show and treating us to a final farewell breach! We had absolutely stunning conditions today and we could not be more grateful.
The gratefulness doesn’t stop there though, we would like to say a massive thank you to every single person who joined us for our cruises this year. To all our customers, and especially our devoted regulars, (you know who you are 😉).
The biggest thanks of all, goes out to all the crew for making these trips possible, the expert guidance of all the skippers and dedicated deckhands. It couldn’t be done without you 🫡
We’ll be sharing some more of our favourite images and encounters from this season over the next few days, but until next season, we hope our whales have safe travels and we will see you again in 2026! ... See MoreSee Less

Thank you for a brilliant season 👏 Rock on May 2026 🐋
Magnificent. Enjoy a well deserved rest & thanks so very much for the glorious photographs 👏👏💯🙏
We've had quite the contrast today with nice sunny weather this morning then thunderstorms rolling in by the afternoon. ⛈
Slimmer chances today out there when it came to finding whales, but not impossible!
We were lucky enough find a curious calf and a mother humpback on our 12pm cruise! We were heading North and then we saw them pop up not far from us. We popped the engines in neutral to view at a 100m distance, but they came over for look, swimming laps around the boat with the calf giving us a few up-close tail throws.
With the added bonus we saw lots of dolphins and a few flying fish.
Tomorrow is our last cruise for the season then we'll say our goodbyes to the whales for 6 months until we see them again the next migration.

With the season hanging on by a thread, we just keep saying it - it isn't over until the whales say it is! 🤙
We were lucky to find a mother and calf humpback that were crashing around a few kilometres off the northern side of Manly. With the season concluding for us in the next few days, we are over the moon that the show isn't over yet, looks like this season is going out with a bang 🚀💥
Our last cruise is the 16th of November (this Sunday coming) and it's a bittersweet thought, as we welcome the warmer weather, it's sad to see our humpbacks go for 6 months. None the less, they will always be back, but they sure haven't left us just yet, that's for sure!

Was this today? That’s amazing, can’t believe they’re still going 😍
So spectacular 💖🤩🐋
How’s that for a tail throw?!
We got lucky on our midday cruise with a pair of whales steadily making their way south. It’s certainly getting to the end of the season with much fewer of our big blubbery friends each day, but will still get moments of magic!
Sunday 16th November will be our last day for the season, so book yourselves in before then, as it’ll be another 6 before our whales return!

Powerful and stunning! Some big tail throws from mum and calf just off Dee Why beach earlier this afternoon. Including a couple of lazy attempts at breaching from the calf! We got very lucky with the amount of activity as the swell picked up and the wind was getting wild, good job the whales seemed to be enjoying it!!

Happy to be corrected... The whales seem way more active in windy weather . Perhaps feels great on their skin??
