Head out onto Sydney Harbour and beyond in search of migrating humpback whales, aboard a small vessel departing from King Street Wharf in Darling Harbour.
Cruise beneath the Sydney Harbour Bridge and past the Sydney Opera House before heading out through Sydney Heads into the open Pacific Ocean, where an experienced guide — often a marine biologist — shares live commentary on humpback whale behaviour, biology and migration as you watch. A professional onboard photographer captures the trip, with complimentary high-resolution photos emailed to you that evening.
Whale watching runs seasonally with the humpback migration (roughly May to November), with morning, midday and sunset departures on offer. There’s a whale-sighting guarantee — if none are spotted on your cruise, you can come back for a free return trip.
