Sydney Outdoor & sports activities

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

Skydiving in Sydney Wollongong was on my bucket list, and I finally did it!! It was such an incredibly fun experience, and the weather was perfect~ Thank you, ANDY💜, for skydiving with me!!! Thanks to you, I had a safe and enjoyable experience~ Since it was my first time, you reassured me by checking before we got in the car, checking before we boarded the plane, and double-checking before we jumped. You also explained how to get good video footage, so I have some great videos to take home!! If you come to Sydney, I highly recommend experiencing this🤙 It departs from Sydney at 6:00 AM and arrives back in the city at 2:30 PM!! Keep this in mind when planning your itinerary~

If you can only do ONE thing in Sydney that’s worth every penny and memories that last a lifetime, this is it! We are a family of 4 with two teens and I’ve never seen both my kids smile genuinely in pictures 😁😂. our tour guide Eloisa was energetic and we can tell she loves her job! Highly recommend it especially the night climb! we went up during sunset and came down at night.

So lucky that the whale was so close to the boat and they were quite active during the morning that have seen them several times during the trip. One small tip is that the ferry is aboard close to the aquarium. We almost missed the ferry as it just said the meeting point is Darling harbour and we went to the other side of the harbour. Allow some time as the crew will have a talk on the safety matters before getting on the boat.

This time, I participated in an activity I'd always wanted to experience, and thankfully, it didn't disappoint. I went out to sea twice. The first time, I took a large boat (with about 50 people). From a distance (about 100 meters), we saw humpback whales spouting and swimming to the surface as they migrated. In about an hour and a half, we saw around 5-6 pairs of whales, and even encountered a pair of dolphins playing around the boat. A few days later, I joined a fast boat (with about 10 people). This time, I was even luckier to see a humpback whale's tail slapping the water up close for two to three minutes. It was an unforgettable experience!

The original tour was supposed to go to Newcastle, but we were only informed at 6:15 AM on the day of the tour that it was canceled. We were then offered to go to Wollongong for a skydive experience instead. The overall experience was quite good, but the original return time was 11:30 AM. However, we had to wait for everyone to finish their jumps, including those who joined later, so we didn't depart for Sydney until around 2:00 PM, arriving back in Sydney at approximately 4:00 PM. You should set aside a full day for this. You can also walk along the beach nearby, and the weather was nice, so it felt like visiting an extra place.

Food was average but the crew made up for it. The explanation provided by the commentator was great and kudos to the crew that we saw dolphins and many sightings of humpback whales. Thanks! ☺️

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An absolute dream trip to the Snowy Mountains! I have been to the Snowy Mountains before, but this experience was so much better! We departed late at night on July 11, 2026, and the weather turned out to be wild and exciting. I was even checking out the live cam from the Snowy Mountains beforehand to track the snow! There was a huge dumping of fresh snow compared to the previous days, and we even experienced an incredible blizzard! During my first trip here, I wasn’t able to roam around at all, but this time we were able to explore so much more. Our tour guide was so sweet & nice! We were dropped off at Smiggin Holes, where we first headed inside to grab some coffee and breakfast - the food there was seriously good! Afterward, we made great use of the free shuttle to easily get all around the Snowy Mountains. Having the freedom to look around coupled with the fresh powder made this trip unforgettable. I am so glad I gave this destination another chance!
