What to expect

Experience an unforgettable 2 hour whale watching cruise along the Sydney coastline during the annual humpback whale migration. After departing the harbour, the cruise travels to areas where whales are commonly sighted, giving you the chance to see them breaching, tail slapping and swimming in their natural habitat. Dolphins and other marine wildlife are also often spotted along the way. Throughout the cruise, the experienced crew share insights about whale behaviour and migration. If no whales are sighted during your cruise, you will receive a complimentary return cruise.

The Whale Watching Express Cruise will now depart from Campbells Cove in The Rocks. Please arrive 15 minutes prior to departure.

Review for: Departs from Darling Harbour

Got to catch a whale bridging eventhough the season was almost ending. Waves were high but enjoyable. The guides were wonderful and gave us options to change dates if we are unable to ride the big waves.

This whale watching trip is definitely worth taking! The crew was very friendly and professional. Not only did they briefly introduce the precautions before departure, but they also kept an eye on everyone's safety during the voyage, which made us feel at ease. Although there was no guide, the crew was keen to point out where the whales appeared so that we would not miss any wonderful moments. We were lucky enough to see a few whales, they were jumping and spraying water on the sea surface, the scene was really stunning! You can also enjoy the beautiful scenery of Sydney's coast, and the whole journey is refreshing. The boat was comfortable and clean and the process was well organized. This is a very pleasant experience and is recommended to friends who want to get close to nature and admire whales! 💙

The 2-Hour Whale Watching Sydney Harbour Cruise was a delightful experience overall. Despite not being able to witness the full magic of the whales breaching, the cruise still offered a unique glimpse into these majestic creatures' world. The tour itself was well-organized, the staff were knowledgeable and friendly, and the boat provided a comfortable vantage point for viewing. Although we mostly caught glimpses of tails, the anticipation and excitement of potentially spotting a whale kept the energy high throughout the journey. The beauty of the Sydney Harbour added to the charm of the experience, creating a picturesque backdrop for our adventure at sea. The two hours flew by as we scanned the waters eagerly, hoping for a majestic sighting. While it would have been incredible to witness more whale activity, the cruise still left me with a sense of awe and appreciation for these incredible animals and the vast ocean they call home. I would recommend this experience to anyone looking for a peaceful and enlightening day out on the water.

我地可能實在太好彩,買飛好方便,去到櫃檯攞飛都好簡單,講個名就得,12點9出發依個時間for 2hr應該係最fit,又夠光線,時間又啱,返到嚟都仲好好太陽唔會黑唔會夜唔會好凍。可能人夠多?又會安排到架大船有3層嘅出海,又應該係冬季,啲鯨魚實在太開心。陽光好好,影啲相都好靚。最初第一下,都係見到啲尾,隻手仔,或者個頭仔走上啲,都已經好開心。到有啲船走左,佢地兩條大鯨魚,開始飛出嚟花式表演咁滯,真係好正好有動感,好震撼, 好值得去呢個旅程好值得去一次觀賞。

It's very easy to find a place to get tickets, the boat to see the whales is comfortable, the crew is friendly and helpful. It's good to be able to see whales even though they're not as close as in the photo. Overall not bad, quite satisfying. Unique experience. You guys need to try it

We manage to catch the whales activities from afar. It will be great if the boat is moved closer to the whales activities. It is also unfortunate that the sun glares are towards our boat, we did not manage to get a clean photo shot or video shot for the whales activities.

20 minutes out to the Tasman Sea and the ‘Humpback Highway’ - spent just over 1 hour with the whales and dolphins, amazing experience and well informed over the boat’s tannoy. A little choppy getting to the whales but fairly smooth on the way back.

Review for: Departs from Darling Harbour

June to November in Australia is the best time for whale watching. It is really worthy of its reputation. The chance of seeing whales is 100%. Today, there are so many whales that I can't see them all. I want to go back to the cabin to rest, but whales keep appearing. I have taken whale watching boats more than 3 times in Taiwan, and each time I only saw dolphins. If you want to see whales, this is a worthwhile trip! What I want to remind you is that you will be asked to report directly to the pier before the trip. There will be no staff on site until the boat appears (because they are all on the boat), so just wait at the meeting point as reminded, don't worry about going to the wrong point.

Nice tour if you are able to catch a nice weather. I was not able to to see the big whale but only the small ones. Many people got sea sick, take some pills before the tour could help.
