Overview
Grab the opportunity to ‘sail with whales’ on this exhilarating ocean adventure from Sydney!
Board a purpose-built whale-watching catamaran and head out to sea. Keep a look out for dolphins, seals and exciting sea birds such as albatrosses, penguins and petrels.
See which member of your party will be first to spot a mighty humpback whale! The coast close to Sydney is one of the world’s best places to see these magnificent creatures on migration.
Playful humpbacks are renowned for their spectacular acrobatic displays. Most dramatic is the ‘breach’ when these 40-ton animals actually leap out of the water.
There is every chance you will see the whales. But, just in case you’re unlucky, the tour comes with a guarantee. If you don’t see any whales on your trip then the tour operator gives you another cruise for free!

Itinerary
Your exciting Whale Watching Cruise From Sydney departs from Circular Quay, Jetty 6. Please arrive at the Quay 30 minutes prior to sailing to collect your boarding pass. Boarding starts approximately 15 minutes prior to the sailing time.
Your cruise vessel is a 75-passenger, 16- meter super sea-catamaran. It is purpose-built for whale watching and features two passenger decks, both offering spectacular open-air viewing and a comfortable all-weather lounge for the entire family.
Sydney is a great place for whale watching. Every year, between late May and late November, thousands of humpback and other whales migrate along the Australian coastline to their feeding and breeding grounds. Whale-watchers from Sydney are able to catch the whales on both the winter migration northwards (late May to August) and the spring migration southwards (September to November)
The majestic humpbacks are the most exciting whales to watch because they often leap right out of the water, a type of behavior known as ‘breaching’.
The cruise passes Fort Denison and the Sydney Opera House and goes out through Sydney Heads. As you sail along, you will enjoy an expert live commentary.
As well as hump-back whales, you may encounter dolphins and seals as well as a rich variety of ocean birds. These could include the majestic wandering albatross, penguins, petrels, shearwaters, and skuas among others.
At the end of the 3-hour cruise you will be dropped back at the starting point at Circular Quay.

Voucher information: No need to print! You can show your voucher on your smartphone or other devices. (But if you’d rather print a copy – that’s fine too!)
Whale watching cruises may be subject to cancellation due to weather and other operational requirements. If your cruise is cancelled you may rebook another.
If a whale is not sighted during the cruise, a free cruise on a standby basis will be offered during the same season (confirmed 24 hours prior subject to availability, please coordinate with our activity partner).
So there’s no last-minute rush please arrive at the start point 30 minutes prior to sailing to collect your boarding pass. Boarding commences approximately 15 minutes prior to the sailing time.
Alcohol and smoking are not permitted on the cruise. Soft drinks and snacks are available for purchase on board.
This activity is adults (and older children) only. Little ones under the age of 7 years will have to sit this one out, we’re afraid.

This was an excellent cruise. Not to be missed.
We saw multiple pods of whales which was exciting. The number of people on board was just right. No pushing or shoving to sight the whales. Crew were very friendly and...

worth the money
Very reasonably priced. Enjoyed it, though whale sightings weren't quite what was expected....
