Excellent activity to do in Sydney

We had a great day. The weather was great and we were lucky enough to see some whales. I felt the team were really committed to giving us a real opportunity to see as much as possible in our time. We were especially impressed with the commentary which was so informative and went away having learnt a lot of new things about whales.

Great activity

Great morning spent watching the whales, luckily the whales were sort of preforming for us, jumping out of the water and diving back in again. Crew were friendly enough with one providing commentary, what I will say that it’s the water was choppy the boat was going up and down. So here’s a tip DONT EAT BREAKFAST! I would highly recommend this activity when in Sydney

Nice

I was with my 4 year old daughter, overall the trip is okay. It’s a nice trip out to the ocean but very far away to see the whale. We were lucky to see a whale breach but too far…

A wonderful & fruitful whale watching experience

An enjoyable and fruitful whale watching experience. We witnessed Humpback Whale with calf migrating South and performing the breaching - 'jump out of water' a few times. Very good trip.

Not worth the cost

It was very few sightings of whales, wasn’t close up. And the kids struggled with how long it took to get out to the sightings and back again…

Great afternoon

Managed to see a large hump back jump completely out of the water & a number of Whales surfacing & also tails on full display. All fairly close to the boat. Great afternoon. We also have very nice weather.
