Excellent experience and several whales - All was perfectly planned for the 2h45' cruise and we saw several whales and learned a lot about their migration and preservations from friendly staff onboard.

Unforgettable experience - It was a wonderful experience, my family loved it. The weather when we’re there was sunny and perfect for whale watching. We saw some whales though it was far away so we can barely see it. The staff was warm and welcoming. Overall, it was nice and unforgettable experience. It is one of our highlights visiting in Sydney. Definitely a must.

Lovely day with the whales - Amazing afternoon. Lots of whale activity. Curious calf came up to investigate the ship. Very knowledgeable crew. Was running late to the 10am trip and staff happily put us on the later tour.

Good experience - The water was a bit choppy but was still a great experience. Saw 2 whales and took many videos and pictures. The guides were friendly and very well versed in the local marine life.
