Whale Watching Adventure Cruise
Wonderful experience!
Loved the entire tour - the boat ride was so fun and we saw 2 whales (one adult and one calf). We even saw the calf breach!! They brought us back 15 minutes earlier since we saw the whales pretty quickly, but I would have loved to spend that time in the boat. We were also not able to stand up in the boat due to choppy waters but people in the big boats were able to stand. This is obviously not their fault but just something to know. 100% recommend.

Private Luxury Intimate Whale Watching
Whale watching
Fantastic. One ticked off my bucket list. The skipper was great and got us exactly to the spots to get great views of the whales and for photos. We saw two pods and they came up really close to the boat. Plenty of tails, fins and jumps. Our whale expert Mette was brilliant and told us a lot of facts. Well worth the money.

Sydney Whale Watching on ORCA Small RIB
A Great Experience
Absolutely great experience, many sightings of a female humpback with calf. Our guide was lovely and very knowledgeable. Provided with v warm jacket, which was a godsend. The speed of the boat took a bit of getting used to (I’m 60), but didn’t phase the younger members of the trip at all! In any event the captain was v reassuring. Would love to do it again sometime.
