Fabulous - Even though the seas were a little rough it was really worth the trip, we saw lots of whales, they put a real show on for us. It was amazing

A wonderful & fruitful whale watching experience - An enjoyable and fruitful whale watching experience. We witnessed Humpback Whale with calf migrating South and performing the breaching - 'jump out of water' a few times. Very good trip.

Great afternoon - Managed to see a large hump back jump completely out of the water & a number of Whales surfacing & also tails on full display. All fairly close to the boat. Great afternoon. We also have very nice weather.

Fun morning cruise, minimal whales - Amazing views of Sydney, the bay, and out to the open ocean. Very choppy so beware for those who suffer from sea sickness! We saw dolphins, and a few quick glimpses of whale tales. Learned a lot about humpback whales from the marine biologist guiding the cruise. A really fun experience though the whale watching part was less than we'd hope for -- but you can't control the whales! :)

Nice - I was with my 4 year old daughter, overall the trip is okay. It’s a nice trip out to the ocean but very far away to see the whale. We were lucky to see a whale breach but too far…

Trip canceled but Harbor was nice - Unfortunately my trip was canceled the day prior due to weather. I was unable to go whale watching but did spend a day in the Harbor.

Disappointed customer - Didn’t see any whales but did get a card to rebook. Boat old and smelly. Could not find the whales. Staff were nice but refreshments lacking not even a biscuit offered.

Not worth the cost - It was very few sightings of whales, wasn’t close up. And the kids struggled with how long it took to get out to the sightings and back again…
