Who doesn’t love a mighty head lunge?!

Humpback whales have some incredible behavioural displays, and when they launch their heads right up out the water to take a good look at us it’s very exciting!

Join us from 17th May to see some of the best whale watching action, it’s just 15 minutes ride from Circular Quay to the open ocean!

Have you ever wanted to get close to a Humpback Whale? 

We get some amazing encounters on the Humpback Highway, and we hope this season will be no different! It’s a behaviour called Mugging, which is just as incredible as those breaches we see and sometimes even more mind blowing.

How many breaches do you think we’ll be lucky enough to see this season?

We’re lucky enough to get to see some incredible displays of all kinds of behaviour from the whales on our cruises, but nothing beats the heart stopping surprise of a big breach! 

We hope you can join us!

5 weeks to go!

We’re getting closer and closer to the start of Whale Season and we cannot wait! Having a potential population of over 50,000 Humpbacks swimming past Sydney this year, the likelihood of seeing jaw dropping displays is higher than ever, and we are so excited to share it with you.
