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.

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! ☺️

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!

Two hours were very fulfilling! We started with simple stretches and relaxation, then learned how to get on the board. After that, it was a series of attempts. We were lucky to encounter some great waves and successfully surfed—it was fantastic! I participated in the 8-10 AM session, so the sun wasn't too strong and there were fewer tourists, allowing us to fully enjoy the waves. The only downside was that there were no photos or videos to document it.
