Experience the excitement of seeing whales in their natural environment while spending the morning or afternoon cruising around Sydney’s beautiful waterways. For four hours, this cruise takes you from Sydney Harbour all the way to Sydney Heads for exciting whale watching opportunities and a delicious breakfast to top it off.

Departing from Circular Quay, you’ll jump on board the spacious vessel and head out across Sydney Harbour to soak up incredible views of the iconic landmarks and city skyline. Off the Sydney Heads you’ll be watching for the humpback whales frolicking in the surrounding Pacific Ocean. During their southern hemisphere migration season tens of thousands of whales are found in these waters and seeing them up close is an adventure you won’t forget.

While on the water you’ll enjoy expert commentary on whale characteristics, behaviour patterns, plus their history and present day life. The vessel is spacious with multiple outside viewing areas, a comfortable indoor lounge area and a licensed bar for beverages. If you’re looking for a cruise adventure and an exhilarating wildlife experience, this four hour whale watching tour is the perfect choice.
