Getting up close to these gentle giants of the sea is an awe-inspiring experience that you don’t want to miss. With record numbers of whales due to pass along Sydney's coastline this migration season, there are sure to be plenty of sightings and great photo opportunities! This activity is seasonal, operating from mid-May to early-Novemeber each year.

Itinerary
Whale Watching cruises are an extraordinary opportunity to see the gentle giants of the sea on their annual migration, and with our Whale Sighting Guarantee, we either spot whales - or you cruise again for free! Your cruise begins from Circular Quay, Sydney Harbour and makes its way past the Opera House, the beautiful eastern suburbs and outside the Harbour headlands to open water. Southern Right, Orca and Minke Whales all visit Sydney's coastline, but it's the Humpbacks that come in great numbers and love to show off with breaches, tail slaps and even a sneaky wink when they are feeling extra curious.
