Overview

This is Sydney's only true 3 in 1 whale watching cruise. Including a city sights cruise with live commentary on Sydney's history both past and present, BBQ lunch and whale watch experience on the ultimate Sydney Harbour cruise. Relax while you see the sights of Sydney from the water as you cruise around Sydney Harbour and dine on a BBQ buffet lunch or breakfast (sat/sun only) served on board. Then head out into the open sea to go whale watching, pass through the Sydney Harbour Heads. Your crew will locate and provide informative commentary on the whales and their activity. These giants of the sea once nearly hunted to extinction, it is believed in history the humpback population was once as low as 200 whales. The conservation of these beautiful animals has led to the humpback population being at a safe level to avoid extinction.

Something Special

Published on Jan, 2025

We were amazed at the number of people queuing for this cruise which we had booked several months ago . We were unaware that this was the final cruise of the Seasonal migration of Whales to the southern ocean . We were a bit concerned that there would be insufficient seats and also we did not have any great expectations regarding the BBQ lunch . However we boarded with everyone else and we had been worrying over nothing . There was ample seating and the the Lunch was terrific with plenty of delicious food and enough for seconds . There was a dedicated expert to give us commentary as we cruised through the Harbour as lunch was served . After lunch service we ventured out into the quite Heavy swell , about 3 mts . Glad we had Lunch inside the Harbour . We headed south for about an hour with no sign of Whales , however the Skipper received a call from another Boat to say that a Mother & Calf had been spotted near the Heads . We turned and made our way back and we spotted the pair of Whales as they crossed the entrance to the Harbour , occasionally breaching and waving with the huge Flippers . The Calf was especially active as if Mother was encouraging it to perform for us . Suddenly 2 large Males also appeared , so now we had 4 whales in view . We kept pace with them as they headed south until , sadly , it was time for us to return to the Harbour . As we made our turn the skipper sounded his Horn 3 times and the Whales waved us goodbye with their Flippers , as if they had been trained to do that . What a special Day . We managed to get some good video of the Whales . This will go down as something we will remember .

Great trip and we saw whales!

Fantastic guides and a great experience! I would highly recommend that you take sea bands or some type of Dramamine because we had about five people got violently sick on the boat because of the choppy water/motion sickness. Itā€™s no joke and was tough to listen to. Take something for sea sickness before you go.

Superbly organised tour

Published on Nov, 2024

It's been a great boat trip. Perfect communication beforehand and detailed information on where the meeting point was. We have been very lucky on the tour to see numerous whales "playing" around and coming close to the boat. The brunch buffet was also delicious. Overall you feel well looked after. Would definitely recommend to take something against sea sickness with you as the sea can be rough and some who haven't followed the advice ended up being sick later on the trip.

Must try and best organiser.

Amazing experience. must try. staff was super friendly and quite supportive. in the cruise food was also really really good. they made sure that we could see Whales. spent quality 3-4 hrs in deep sea. we even saw dolphins going in front of our ship. the sea was turbulent. had best experience of my life.

Great food, great staff, great trip.

Published on Nov, 2024

A great trip; food was good too with a great selection. We followed a calf and two adult humpbacks for about 2 hours with several breaches! Excellent. Then a school of dolphins swan next to the boat en route home. Great staff and great fun. Great value for money.
