A bright way to spend the afternoon with the amazing sea creatures. I personally liked the part where they allowed some species to be touched. It’s an indoor activity so very convenient when we did it on a hot sunny day. It was searously fun 🤩🐠🐟

we took the 9.15am ferry, it's not too crowded and the safety briefing was precise. the crew helped to spot the whales and we had 20 mins of whale viewing time before we said farewell to the the giant sea mammals. The boat was quite distanced from the whales, without a powerful camera it's looks pretty tiny. see the tiny fish using handphone vs the bigger ones using a camera. Overall, we thank God for the nice weather and good show-off by the whales.
experience:great
safety:good
location: satisfactory, Abit far
instructor: knowledgeable, whales do not eat during migration.

the experience was great! the cruise offers a mini bar on board as well as vomit bags. we spotted 3 whales, splashing out of water! i strongly suggest to check the tide and weather before booking the date and time. The operator is at circular bay wharf, where you can look for to change a date or time

I would say it was well worth the price to have it in a pass. It saved us money thats for sure. We enjoyed the aquarium but it was too crowded as we went on a rainy Sunday. The wild life zoo was short but fun nevertheless especially with the kangaroos. I suggest coming in the morning and then do the aquarium in the afternoon. We also did the Sydney eye tower.

The tour to Blue Mountain National Park is such a bliss! The joy and laughter was, especially, attributable to our cheerful tour guide, Ricky. To start off, he is an Italian who enjoys pizza with pineapples. He s really helpful taking beautiful photos and creating laughters throughout the journey. A HIGHLY recommended trip for you all.

Thanks to Kelvin Sung's detailed explanations, I was able to efficiently explore Featherdale Wildlife Park in a short amount of time, understanding the characteristics and routes of various animals. During the Blue Ocean Sunset Tour, his prompt guidance also allowed me to capture great photos with beautiful backdrops. I was initially worried about the weather forecast predicting clouds in the evening, but thanks to our guide, I was able to quickly enjoy a brief stargazing experience at an excellent spot. I'm incredibly grateful to our guide for diligently taking photos of me throughout the tour, even though I was traveling alone, and for always striving to provide the best possible convenience. It was a truly satisfying tour!

The pick up was from our hotel which was super convenient. Our guide Perry is very friendly as he is able to speak Cantonese and English. We enjoyed our trip to blue mountain as we are able to take all 3 scenic rides. We really love it. Not only that, we took a lot photos during this trip. It was very memorable.

What to know before visiting Sydney
Quick Sydney snapshot and top experiences
Sydney’s busiest moments are driven by popular outdoor and harbour activities, with Zoos & aquariums, Tours and Cruises among the leading categories visitors book. Demand peaks in late summer, while quieter pockets appear through the cooler mid-year months, giving the city a year-round rhythm of events and outdoor options.
Best time to visit and how prices move
Klook booking data shows demand peaks in February and hits a trough in June. Prices drift through the year: they’re typically lowest in November according to Klook data and climb toward a priciest period around January. For lower prices and smaller crowds, aim for November or the mid-year quieter months; if you want peak-season atmosphere and the busiest activity options, February and the January period are when the city hums. Note that demand and prices don’t always move exactly together here — November is one of the cheapest months even though it isn’t the absolute quietest, while January brings both high prices and strong demand.
Tips for travellers from Australia
Most travellers from Australia book around three days ahead on average, so flexibility works well and many experiences can be arranged shortly before you go. If you plan to travel in the peak season named above, consider booking earlier — Klook data shows some travellers book up to a couple of weeks in advance for busy periods. Use Klook to compare the top categories (Zoos & aquariums, Tours, Cruises) and lock in the experiences you want when you spot suitable availability.
