Whales in Sydney - The cruise was very nice. Sydney from the boat is fabulous. We were lucky and saw a lot of whales, although none wanted to jump but it was still exciting. The crew also offered us a hot drink on board, and the sea was not even very rough, perfect weather. Beautiful day!

Amazing whale watching - Very good experience in whale watching. The staff members were very good not in a rush to go and come back visited two points for whale watching spot and in second point we have watched four whale following one another. The staff extended a little more time to enjoy. It's really a great time we had and enjoyed.

Heaps of Whales - Friends recommended we check out this whale watching cruise so glad we did, we were truly blown away we saw whales breaching and like 4 or 5 whales come right up to the boat. Highly recommend these guys if you going whale watching in Sydney.

The best activity Ive ever booked in Sydney - What an incredible day!!! Don't let the winter chill put you off, this tour was absolutely incredible and cannot be missed if you are lucky enough to be in Sydney at the migration time of the year. From the very beginning with the Famous Circular Quay back drop the whole experience was just magical. We could not thank the guide enough for sharing his knowledge and his super keen eye for spotting the whales!!!
