A day of head lunges and breaches for us today on our two express cruises. Both trips had encounters with lively juveniles and their mothers attempting to keep the young whales moving North. Although keeping a lively youngster entertained along the way cant be easy! Luckily for us it meant we were treated to fantastic displays and we'll be out again tomorrow to hopefully join our beautiful blubbery friends! ... See MoreSee Less

How good was our sunset show tonight?!

We had two excellent express cruises today, and in the last few minutes, after a lot of searching, these two young humpbacks came to play, with tails slapping and breaches again and again, we couldn't get any luckier!

One of our favorite things about whale watching is the unpredictable nature of these incredible animals, and just when you think they are finished for the day, they come back to tell us the show must go on!

Come and join us this season for more spectacular whale action!

Happy Sunday!

A stunning morning out on the ocean for us today, with whales seen playing in the distance and cruising right by the entrance to the harbour.

We even had time to visit a seal along the cliff have a late Sunday morning snooze!

Conditions were perfect out on the water today and the much more frequent sightings are getting us very excited for the coming weeks as the action picks up.

Hello!

Another successful cruise with a pod of three whales heading North. One larger member of the pod we speculated could be a potential mother-to-be on her way to the calving grounds in the warmer waters.

Good luck to this pod, we hope you have an easy journey!

SPLASH!

We got lucky on our first trip of the day, with a juvenile whale coming to play straight out of the harbour. We saw breaching just alongside North Head before this young whale came to take a look at the boat. Check out those beautiful markings along the back!

A lucky start to the day and hopefully our next cruise will get even more action!

That was special!! πŸ‹

The best morning you could ask for out on the ocean today! A pod of 3 whales put on a spectacular show for us, approaching us with pectoral high fives and head lunges. They then came to say a very close hello to the boat, trumpeting away and finishing with two amazing breaches barely a second apart!

It really doesn't get any better!

  • Weather was a bit miserable, but the boat made it comfortable. The crew had their finger on the pulse out there and when whales were spotted by a sister boat, we were taken quickly to a perfect viewing spot. The whales repeatedly breached, including a double breach from the pair. We got great photos and finished the voyage pumped.

  • The boat, crew and overall experience was fabulous! Whales were promised and wow we were blown away, we can’t believe that we saw whales breaching and tail slapping so close we felt at times we could almost touch them.
    This crew have perfected the tour with an onboard Marine Biologist and happy, easygoing but safe attitude.

  • Once we got out of the Harbor, we started seeing whales. They were jumping and feeding and just cruising along side the boat!! The crew were all super friendly and helpful and kept the trip fun and interesting.

  • Must to do with kids. Amazing experience with kids. Must to do if in Sydney. There is big difference watching whale compared to other animals as the shear size of whale and they move is magnificent.
