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

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!

OMG! absolutely worth every dollar! We booked this experience to celebrate my father's birthday and it ended up being one of the best days we've had in Sydney. Getting up close to a koala was incredible 🐨. I got my photo with one, learned so much about them throughout the day, and then got to meet and hand-feed kangaroos too 🦘. There were so many amazing Australian animals to see, including a Tasmanian Devil, Cassowary, Komodo Dragon, Dingoes, Wallabies, Flying Foxes, Turtles, Frogs and even a massive 500kg Saltwater Crocodile 🐊. We also met the cutest sleepy wombat named Scarlett! One of the things I loved most was learning about Aussie Ark and the important conservation work they're doing to help save endangered Australian species. The food and wine were unbelievable. The boomerang lesson was also so much fun 🪃 My dad had an amazing birthday and we're still talking about it. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Sydney. Thanks Sean for such a memorable day!

Chen is an awesome guide/ driver, but. But the meeting time at central station on the itinerary I got was 6:45am. I didn’t receive any email from the tour provider inform any changes of the itinerary so I went at 6:40 and waited until 7am, got panic as I got no one to contact but the Klook AI customer service and it took forever for real person respond. I didn’t give up but stayed at the same place until 7:55am. finally the van arrived and told me I can hop on. the tour was fine, but the main course of the lunch was under seasoned. the food options were creamy sauces pasta with chicken, salmon or vegetables. or burger. we are a group of 7 and nine of us finished the food.

It’s a very beautiful journey! My boyfriend and I were from Taiwan. We can understand about English, but not that fluent. Our tour guide, Drew, really took good care of us. Other people were nice to us too! I love the chocolate so much. That’s too bad we can’t buy the chocolate away. Anyway! Find Drew is your best choice~ From Taiwan. 看到Klook上的評論,超級幸運!遇到很棒的導遊Drew, 很照顧我們!我們去了四站,紅酒白酒試喝、pizza+Gin、cheese和wine、巧克力和酒,一整路Drew照顧所有人,最後把我們載回Sydney~儘管大塞車,我們還是有平安抵達!非常推薦!

What to know before visiting Sydney

Quick snapshot of Sydney and what draws visitors

Sydney’s Klook bookings are led by zoos & aquariums, tours and cruises, with outdoor activities and attraction passes also popular. Demand swings through the year: there’s a clear high in August and a low in February, so the city alternates between busy and quieter periods. Expect a mix of family-friendly wildlife experiences and harbour-focused sightseeing shaping most itineraries.

Best times to visit based on crowd and price patterns

Klook data shows the busiest month is August and the quietest month is February. Prices move differently from demand: booking prices peak around May and hit a low around April, so the most expensive months aren’t exactly the busiest. For lower prices and smaller crowds aim for April or February-type windows; for a lively, peak-season atmosphere pick August when visitor demand is highest.

Tips for travellers from Hong Kong planning a Sydney trip

Most travellers from Hong Kong typically book activities about four days ahead, with many still able to book at the last minute a day before; planning further ahead (around 18 days) helps for early-bird options. If you want flexibility, you can often lock in popular zoo, tour or cruise experiences a few days out, but during August’s peak consider booking earlier to secure preferred time slots on Klook.
