Review for: Whale Watching

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.

Smooth sailing and an attentive team watching for where the whales show up to let people take photos. The crew were friendly and shared a lot of information about the migration of the humpback whales.

We had an amazing experience on the Sydney Whale Watching Adventure Cruise! From the moment we boarded, the crew was incredibly friendly, professional, and attentive, making everyone feel welcome and safe throughout the journey. A special thank you to the whale scientist on board, who shared fascinating insights about humpback whales and made the experience even more meaningful with informative and engaging commentary. We were truly blessed to witness a beautiful mama whale swimming alongside her baby calf—an unforgettable sight that left us in awe. Seeing them in their natural habitat was a once-in-a-lifetime experience and the highlight of our trip to Sydney. Thank you to the entire team for the outstanding service and memorable adventure. We highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Sydney!

We encountered a whale just next to our boat for 15-20 minutes. The staff explained a lot about the whale, and they even spotted another at two or three places. We also experienced a real mugging when they positioned our boat, and the whale turned towards your boat so that it couldn't move. It was a very rare experience we encountered. The team was professional; the ship was very clean. Once we reached the harbor, they offered us tea, coffee, and hot chocolate. Overall, it was a good experience and a must-do. They ensure that we get to see the whales.

The whale watching tour exceeded my expectations!!! I was worried about finding the meeting point, but the booth was easy to spot and the staff were very friendly and helpful! There were about 40 people on the boat, so it was spacious, and thankfully I didn't get seasick! Sunscreen is a must because the sun is strong! We watched the whales for about two hours and saw them maybe 10 times! The whale explanations were also great 😆! Cute dolphins even followed our boat, which was really fun! They even offered warm tea and hot chocolate on the way back! Very satisfied, I'm glad I chose this company based on the reviews!

Were able to see the whales up close and early so was well worth the strong winds. Ride could be rough at times as expected. Definitely need a tight cap. Even in good weather it could get a bit cold. But seeing whales up close makes everything worth it

Review for: Whale Watching

This was a truly fantastic whale watching tour, highly recommended! We were out at sea for about an hour when the captain, with his extensive experience, spotted whales. And we were lucky enough to see two! Watching them gracefully roll in the ocean was a truly breathtaking and moving experience. I especially appreciated the crew's professionalism. Throughout the trip, they not only shared a lot of interesting information about whales, but also emphasized that they maintain a safe distance to protect these gentle giants. This eco-conscious approach made us feel very comfortable. Amenities: The onboard facilities were also very considerate. In addition to the necessary life jackets, they also provided motion sickness bags. On the way back, the crew offered us a warm drink to combat the cold sea breeze, a small gesture that was truly thoughtful! Finally, two sincere recommendations for future participants: 1. Be sure to take motion sickness medication in advance. Seas can be choppy, and being prepared will allow you to fully enjoy the experience in comfort. 2. Be sure to wear a thick jacket! The winter sea breeze combined with the speed of the boat makes the perceived temperature very low, so staying warm is very important. Overall, this was a well-organized, surprising, and educational trip. Highly recommended!

Omg!!! I was super happy as I get to see the whales!!! 🐋 Such an amazing morning! 🌅 The cruise operator will inform you to eat motion sickness pill (do note this is not provided there, you have to self bring) if you need to. I ate it and was perfectly fine throughout the cruise ride. I can’t imagine if I did not as I do see the sea waves was quite choppy at some point of time. They do provide you with vomit bags of required as well. For safety, life jacket is available on board but not required to put in on unless of emergency (which they will give guide at the beginning of the ride). At the end of the cruise ride, they offer hot chocolate / tea / coffee for free.
