WE SAW SO MANY WHALES. This was by far one of the best things I’ve ever done. Our guides were great at getting us close to see the pods and giving us tons of fun facts about the whales and other marine life. I highly recommend!
Amazing experience I think everybody should try at least once in life
We really enjoyed our Whale Watching trip while in Sydney. The guides were excellent and clearly had great knowledge of hump back whales and shared lots of interesting information throughout the boat trip. We saw multiple whales on our trip which was great.
We had the best time! The ‘David Attenborough’ information about the whales was well-timed and fascinating. We saw many tail slaps and brilliant breaches. Two whales were frolicking together at one point. The staff clearly love the wildlife and treat them with respect. The Sea Eagle sighting on the way home was a magnificent way to end the cruise.
No regret it was really good! We’ve seen nothing during 1hour but after that we spotted plenty of Whales so we stayed there for a long moment so we we’re late but really worth it! Thank’s the team for the extra hour on the boat !
