Our experience with Ocean Extreme aboard the Osprey was outstanding. From the moment we arrived, the family-operated team made us feel genuinely welcome. The crew created a friendly and relaxed atmosphere while remaining professional, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout the journey. The tour was both entertaining and educational, with plenty of interesting information about the local marine environment and wildlife. We were fortunate to see humpback whales, dolphins, and several species of Australian seabirds along the Sydney coastline. Paul, Brad, and Martin brought genuine enthusiasm and warmth to the experience. Their passion for the ocean and its wildlife was obvious, and the trip felt personal and authentic rather than overly commercial. I would highly recommend Ocean Extreme to families, visitors, and anyone looking for a memorable wildlife experience while in the Sydney area.
I had a lovely trip with Ocean Extreme! Our guide Paul was very friendly and knowledgeable and happy to answer my many questions. Lovely to see some humpbacks and learn about them!
Unbelievable trip saw so many whales . Mother and baby breaching . Absolutely fantastic! Sean and his mate were wonderful . Can’t recommend it enough !
The staff were very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. Overall a wonderful excursion. A must see in Sydney.
Fantastic experience, we got to see two whales travelling together. Loads of tail and fin slapping on the surface. Weather at 11am was reasonably calm. Both Paul and Martin were excellent guide/Captain and we learnt lots of information. Great day out!
My partner and I had a phenomenal experience with Ocean Extreme. The online booking process was a breeze and Dion was very helpful with booking queries. We took the Osprey Boat from Circular Quay with Martin and Paul - they were both professional, knowledgeable & very friendly. The boat was small providing an intimate experience without the crowds, but also extremely fast so that you could find and go between whale pods very quickly. They also provided wind-proof jackets. We were extremely lucky to see 6 humpbacks, common dolphins & sea birds. The humpbacks we saw graced us with non-stop breaches - we’ve never seen anything like it! We appreciated receiving photos of the whales we saw. We highly recommend this company and will definitely be returning for more whale watching tours.
Very good experience. Fast boat, that was surprisingly smooth on the water. We were fortunate to see quite a few whales including one large pod of 5-6 that were very active. Had 2 swim right under the boat. Lots of tail slaps.
Paul and Luke were amazing and funny. It made whale watching the best experience. We learnt so much and seen so many whales. Definitely a bucket list experience. Many friends and family want to experience it too after looking at videos we shared with them. So amazing and would 100% be doing it again for sure
The crew on our boat were excellent and made the trip exciting and educational! I Me and my partner learnt so much about whales, which made us appreciate seeing them so much! Will recommend to anyone who wants to go whale watching in Sydney!
Absolutely outstanding trip. Weather meant our original date couldn't go ahead but they let us know immediately and were great with communication getting it rebooted. The day was fantastic with very friendly and knowledgeable staff and we saw some amazing whales. Boat was really comfortable. Commentary by staff was excellent. Thank you Sean and team.
