A very enjoyable experience

Nicole 9 June 2025

We went out at 12.30pm and did not get back until 3.30pm. A very enjoyable experience and a good amount of time spent on the water. We saw 3 whales.

Great Whale Watching experience

Vince 3 September 2024

Booking was quick and easy. The experience starts close to Circular Quay - so it was easy to get to. Checkin was a breeze and the staff were fun and easy to deal with. The trip through the heads was great and informative. We picked a great day with light winds and sunny. While we only saw 2 whales - due to the time of year - it was still a magical day. The crew did everything they could to make sure we all had an enjoyable and memorable experience. Highly recommended.

Jackie 10 July 2024

Great Whale Watching Experience. Saw lots of Whales and saw one breach and two tail flips. One pod of whales came up to the surface at least 10 times so they were very active on this cruise
