Fantastic and unforgettable

We had an amazing trip watching a lot of whales at a close distance. Though we got our trip rescheduled to a midday tour, we realised it was worth it, as the whales tend to be seen around this time. The tour guide took care of us really well, when some of us were having seasickness. Really appreciate it! Would recommend it to everyone who loves animals.

SO MANY WHALES!

My husband and I had a great time. The crew was great and we saw a LOT of whales! The crew even has a photographer on the boat and they send photos afterwards so you can fully enjoy the tour without missing any great shots!

Great whale watching experience

Whale tales are super friendly and knowledgeable. The small boat is no-frills but quick and able to get to the best spots for seeing the whales.

Must do experience in Sydney

Perfect morning with knowledgable crew. A great experience, we saw lots of whales and the boat wasn’t crowded like some of the others we saw. Thoroughly recommend.

Do this!!

It was amazing!! The smaller boat provided an opportunity to be agile and move to where whales were. The guides were incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about wildlife! Highly highly recommend! I did the noon trip and we saw a ton of whales! (I know, not guaranteed)

Would highly recommend!

We had a great time on this tour and would highly recommend! The team were extremely knowledgeable and gave great tips when we were searching for the whales. The boat ride itself was fun. The seas were a bit choppy but the team ensured we were all well looked after (the conditions were actually perfect for whale watching!). When we did find the whales, we stayed with them for a good amount of time and saw lots of them! We also passed all the iconic sites including the harbour bridge and the opera house on route to the open ocean. Overall we had a wonderful experience and can't thank the team enough.

A trip of a lifetime, not to be missed!

This was a trip of a lifetime and it felt truly magical to see several whales within close proximity! It was an absolute dream for me and I really can’t recommend this trip more. We had a perfect day for it and Rob, the skipper got us into the perfect position where we were lucky enough to see whales swimming and breaching. Mette was so knowledgable and friendly and it was great to hear about her vast experiences. It was great that this is a smaller boat and that you could also move around. Pack a waterproof and your camera and be ready to be awestruck!
