Taronga zoo is worth visiting. We saw many animals. The highlight was taking a ferry to get there. Just be careful of the bin chickens if you are eating outside.

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.

This journey has been an amazing experience for us family. We love it so much. BTW, we are from Malaysia. We purchased combo ticket together for whale watching and taronga zoo as it is much cheaper and hassle free. So whale watching must be on the list while visiting sydney. we never regret booking with captain cook cruise. They are very professional. The cruise ship is big. The tour guide is very friendly. They are expert in catching whale. we can see humpback whale tail for almost 4 to 5 times.. It's better than never. Overall I give 4.5 /5 ⭐ . Truly recommended for those who are excited for whale watching as it is lifetime experience. thank you KLOOk for this awesome itinerary. thank you captain cook cruise for this unforgeable memory.

The ferry company did a great job. Covers most of the harbour area in Sydney. This was truly a great experience.

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.

The Location of the office for Captain Cooks Dinner Cruise to claim actual ticket is just across king wraft 1 where the boat is located for the Dinner cruise. fast and easy to claim the ticket they will just ask you about the confirmation code issued by klook. There are assigned seats and table upon board and there are assigned servers to take the guest’s orders . Each guest are allowed to choose 1 starter 1 entree and 1 dessert . They also provide free bread roll and butter.. Drinks are availble but not included in the paid package so you have to pay upon order. The sail was smooth and it was a good weather . There is also a stop in circular quay where other guest boarded. We will definitely recommend trying dinner cruise at Captain cook . Good service . Great staff .
