Highlights
- Sydney Harbour - Begin your adventure by heading to Circular Quay Wharf 6 to pick up your Whale Watching, Zoo Entry and Return Ferry tickets from our welcoming staff at the ticket booth. Set sail on your whale-watching journey at 10:00am, cruising past the iconic Sydney Heads in pursuit of the awe-inspiring Humpback, and occasionally, the Southern Right Whale. Don’t forget to pack your camera, as the chances of witnessing Humpback whales are on the rise each year, and these magnificent creatures often indulge in spectacular displays of tail slapping and leaping out of the water.\n\nAfter your open ocean experience, the cruise will return to the calm waters of Sydney Harbour, gliding by the picturesque eastern suburbs before you alight at Taronga Zoo around 12:25pm. Situated along the Sydney Harbour shoreline, the zoo offers some of the most stunning vistas of the city. Taronga Zoo is home to a diverse array of native Australian animals, such as Koalas and platypuses, as well as exotic species like Asian elephants, lions, and giraffes.\n\nFollowing your exploration of Taronga Zoo’s extensive offerings, make your way back to the Taronga Zoo ferry dock to board a rocket ferry that will take you back to Circular Quay Wharf 6, concluding your day. Be sure to consult the schedule provided to you at check-in for the return ferry times that best suit your plans.

Administratively useless company! - I booked this trip months ago and the confirmation receipt showed the departure point of Kings Wharf. We arrived at the allotted time to check in to be told that all cruises now depart from Circular Quay. We had insufficient time to get there before the ferry departed. Was made to feel like a liar until I produced their receipt which clearly showed I was telling the truth. I had to request a full refund in the end, this is an apalling service from this business when all it would have taken was an email in advance to tell me of the change!
