Beautiful experience - We had a very enjoyable afternoon cruising from Sydney Harbor out to a few miles off of the east coast where we saw humpback whales breaching the surface countless times. Captain Greg was very knowledgeable about the local area and worked very hard at getting us in the right position for pictures/videos for hours as we watched these magnificent mammals. We even got a few bonus dolphins here and there. The food and drinks were very good and Max the First Mate took care of us very well. Highly recommended!

Great Whale Watching experience in Sydney Harbour - I had a fantastic 4 hours Whale Watching Cruise on 29/10/2021, on board of Jerry Bailey ship. The whole process from checkin, lunch, commentary and disembarking was flowless and very welcoming. Clarissa and her team was very friendly, looking after elderly passengers and always with the smile. The boat was very safe with experienced Skipper, who navigate it us exactly to the spots , where we could see the numerous whales frolicking in the waters and some spectacular breeches as well.

Whale Watching - The commentary as usual was tops. However, the whales were even better as they swum alongside, as close as 50 metres, to the Jerry Bailey several times.

Once in a lifetime experience. Definitely recommended - Skipper patiently explained about the whales. Whole experience was awesome. And some mugshots with Humpbacks was thrilling experience. 4 hours of whale watching, worth every penny. Definitely recommend

Magical - It was my first time Whale watching, absolutely loved every bit of it! From the friendly and informative staff, to the vegan friendly meal that was prepared for me upon request and then of course the Whales! They were communicating with us with their breaches responding to our voices, it was beautiful, must have been about 100 breaches, would 100% recommend! A video does not do the experience justice.

Huge Disappointment - My daughter and I booked the small group luxury whale watching tour and were the only clients on the boat. This trip was a major disappointment. Our two guides provided very little information or history on the whales. We saw whales surface in the distance but when we asked to get closer were told they stay 100m away from the whales. Your only chance of getting a view like the promo picture is if the whales come up to the boat on their own, it's a big ocean.... The boat was fishing style with a bridge and was extremely slow. A bit worn and not what I would describe as luxurious. For over $1100AUD we expected more.
