Beautiful views, fun boat ride and whales!

Vanessa 26 August 2020

The speed boat was so much fun even before we saw the whales. We were lucky enough to have a beautiful day and journeying out of Sydney harbour through the heads made for great views. Blake was very knowledgeable and knew where the whales would be due to his communication with other boats. Really enjoyed this experience!

Fantastic boat ride and watching whales up close.

Speedboat on Sydney Harbour. Great fun, watched whales and saw seals. Terrific few hours out on the water.

Great fun!

Paula 29 October 2017

Plenty of whales & bonus pod of dolphins. Even got a smile out of my teenager - well done! The speedboat ride was fun even without the whales.

Whacko!!

I Had a great time, enjoyed every minute. I liked the fact that we got out to the whales quickly & were able to stay longer because we were able to get back more rapidly than the big boats. We were also able to get closer & idle along at the same pace as the whales. It is great that all the boats are in communication & share information.

Great experience!!
