Review for: Whale Watching Cruise

It was a very good experience. I was able to see the Sydney Opera House, the Bay Bridge and other attractions up close. I even went whale watching in the South Pacific and successfully saw the whale's little tail, but the shutter was not ready.

However, it was canceled on that day and made up for the departure the next day. The weather was good that day and I saw many whales. It was very good.

We managed to see some whales however it was not very clear or magnificent, I think it depends on luck. However, the guide was very informative!

Saw 2 humpback whales and followed them throughout the 2.5 hours. No dolphins in sight. Waves were rough and some people vomitted. Operator provide vomit bags. Good experience without overcrowding on the boat.
