Whale wonders
Kickstart your Sydney Harbour adventure with this fun whale-watching cruise, a 2-hour expedition that offers an intimate encounter with majestic humpback whales. Beginning at the Eastern Pontoon Circular in the heart of Sydney, you'll cruise past renowned landmarks like the Opera House before reaching the humpback highway at Sydney Heads. The comfortable speedboat, equipped with a weather-protective roof, will whisk you away faster than a breaching whale to the open waters where the quest to spot whales begins.
Whale tales
While comfortably nestled in your speedboat, you'll witness a wide spectrum of whale activities, from fluke dives and pec slapping to breaching from close. The small group setting (a maximum of 46 guests) ensures everyone gets a stellar view, and your knowledgeable crew will provide fascinating insights about these marine giants and their behaviors during the northern and southern migrations. If the whales remain elusive, worry not. The cruise offers a sightseeing guarantee, allowing you to join another cruise for free, valid for up to 3 years, ensuring this experience truly is a whale of a time.
