What you can expect
Experience one of nature's great migrations as the Humpback and Southern Right whales journey between Antarctica and the Great Barrier Reef. With custom built vessels for whale watching cruises, we have more viewing decks than any other Sydney whale watching vessel - don't miss that special moment due to lack of viewing areas. Cruises come with full commentary from experienced marine naturalists or scientists.
The cruises are assisted by shore-based whale sports giving us the advantage to know where the whales are before we go out, providing a real eco-experience as recognised by independent accreditation and awards - you may also see dolphins, seals and sea birds.

Very relaxing morning cruise, nice weather and good experience.
We went off when the weather is good. It was really calm and sunny. We hoped that we can whales closer to the boat and our way back to the port was a bit windy. However, overall is a good experience. The people on board were really supportive Plus, we saw some dolphins!

Quick confirmation and quick arrangement for the change of the tour dates
I booked a whale watching tour via Experience Oz because the rate is $10 less than that of direct booking thanks to the limited sale. The confirmation email came to me by return. Soon after my booking, I wanted to change the tour dates as the forecast had surf wave and wind warnings on the tour day. The team responded promptly and arranged the tour on the next day. I enjoyed the tour a lot just before the whale watching season ended.
