Whales a plenty! - They're not kidding around when they hand out motion sickness pills before the boat ride! We had swells of 3-4 meters and it was chilly and drizzly. The food was good though; the coffee was hot; and the whales were plentiful! Please do take the pill though,you won't regret it. You might regret it if you don't (as at least one large family found out when several members got ill.)

A must for all tourist to experience. - The cruise was a pleasant experience, though the food was nothing remarkable. While we caught a glimpse of the whale, it wasn’t the full sighting we had hoped for, which was a bit disappointing. Nevertheless, it was still a memorable outing. To top it off, we captured stunning photos of Sydney’s iconic harbourfront, showcasing the Opera House and Harbour Bridge in all their glory.

Unfortunately no whales - The way the trip/cruise was run can’t be faulted, just unfortunately we didn’t see any whales. We were informed that we would get an email with a chance to re-book the tour- early days but yet to see any thing yet.

Poor experience - The outside seats were all wet the crew didn't prepare prior to picking up passengers. The breakfast was horrible and not prepared.
