Great trip. The weather was perfect and our tour guide was very informative about whales, Australia and all the marine life. We saw so many whales. It was the highlight of our vacation.

The staff were excellent, friendly and knowledgeable, the boat was comfortable however, the windows were tinted and hard to see through as it was pouring rain, there was limited access on covered open deck and no cover on top. The sea was very rough and there were several passengers that had seasickness, thankfully, sick bags were provided. Those not sick did see whales, the weather was not the tours fault but does explain my review.

Overall, it was a good experience. The queueing process was a bit hectic, and people were crowding as there was no clear line. A few people suffered from motion sickness and puked toward the end of the journey, and people crowded the sides of the boat when whales were sighted, so it was difficult at times to get photos/video. The staff did encourage people to be considerate of others, consistently offered bio bags for puke, and were incredibly polite and knowledgeable.

I felt very grateful. The whales were active so I had a chance to see them jump out of the water, flap their tall etc… The guide gave a lot of useful information. The event taught me a lot. Would do it again! (It’s addictive 😄) Can totally recommend!!

I’m adventurer and I like whale watching. Sydney whale extremely I enjoyed and seen many there. Operators are well organised and good safety precautions. During the sailing it’s comfortable with catemerine and good manuering the craft.

Amazing time ! We see a momma with his little baby, so cute, stars in the eyes all along. I recommend.

Jonathan_B

Saw a mother and calf. They both propelled themselves virtually out of the water. Learnt a lot about Humpback Whales, which was fascinating.

It’s my first whale watching and it never fails to disappoint. Spotted whales and dolphins up closed but sadly none of them leap out of the water ;( Note: You need to have fast fingers to grab a shot of the mammals
