After having this experience cancelled twice in two years due to inclement weather, we had our fingers crossed for the day to go ahead. A knowledgeable and experienced skipper guided us through the Sydney Heads from Manly and out into the Tasman Sea. We tracked two whales travelling north in search of warmer waters. Managed to get in close to take photos but my photos don’t do these amazing creatures justice. Thankfully, Ocean Extreme sent me photos taken by the skipper who had a long-lensed camera. An awesome day on the ocean - highly recommended.

This is the best whale watching tour in the area. These guys balance their whale finding experience and communication with respect for the whales. They provide warm, waterproof coats and a safe place to store your purse. Then on top of all that, they take phenomenal photos that they share with you, free of cost. This is my second time doing this tour. My first time was in 2019. When I planned to visit Sydney again, Ocean Extreme Whale Watching was at the top of my "to do" things. I didn't bother looking at other tours, as I knew this one is the best. I recommend Ocean Extreme to everyone coming to Sydney!

I went on the 11am trip today with Ocean Extreme and it was the best experience I’ve had in Australia so far. All of the staff were so kind and attentive and very knowledgeable throughout the tour. The enthusiasm from the staff really made the experience, as you can see how passionate they are about ensuring you get the best from the tour! We seen whales breaching, spy hopping and mugging. All of which were incredibly close to the boat. Couldn’t recommend this tour enough, I will 100% be booking again!

We whizzed out from Manly on a rib with unfeasible amounts of thrust sitting on bows and enjoyed bouncing over the swell. At sea saw a pod of three humpbacks which we followed for an hour or so - magical. Recommended - but not if you get seasick or don’t like wind (and sea spray) in your hair.
