Sydney Whale Watching Cruise

4.4/5
308 reviews

The Sydney Whale Watching Cruise is a unique local experience where travelers have the opportunity to observe whales up close. From May to November each year, tens of thousands of humpback whales migrate north from Antarctic waters, passing near Sydney: late June to early July marks the peak northbound period, while after September and October, mother whales with their calves can often be seen slowly returning south along the coastline. Popular whale watching itineraries usually depart from darling harbour or circular quay. The cruise is equipped with advanced facilities, allowing you to enjoy the sea journey without missing any whale watching opportunities.

The theater isn't very large, so the view from the second floor was excellent, and the actors' performances were very lifelike, with very interesting dialogue. Plus, the theater has a beautiful terrace with floor-to-ceiling windows; I took some lovely photos there in the afternoon!

We had so much fun at the zoo, so much to explore, so many different sections. I’m from Malaysia and i was so excited to see the koalas and kangaroos! Not to mention the stunning view of the harbour bridge and sydney opera house from afar. Definitely a memorable visit with a close friend

Amazing whale-watching experience in Sydney! 🐋I really enjoyed this experience from start to finish. The scenery and the whole environment were absolutely beautiful, and we were lucky enough to see a lot of whales! It was amazing watching them in their natural environment, and the experience was even better than I expected. Definitely a great activity to do while visiting Sydney, and I would happily recommend it to others!

“Excited to learn that there's a bus from Goulburn to Canberra which is so much cheaper and quicker then the train.”
