When my overseas visitors said they wanted to go whale watching in early September, I was worried that we had missed the migration of the Humpbacks.   That proved to not only be unfounded but this was the most amazing whale watching trip of the five I have been on.   A mother and her juvenile where making their way south and the mother was, apparently teaching the youngster how to breach.   The little one (perhaps 5-8 m long?)  kept diving then launching up out of the depths.  Our guide said that it was building up muscle strength and that that 'slap' of re-entry sent a sound wave that could be heard over 1km away.   We must have saw 2 dozen attempts by the young one.  Some successful, some not so much.   Then Mum showed it how!   To see the two side by side, airborne and then crashing back.... well that's what everyone dreams of seeing and we saw it twice!   If that weren't enough, the pair then 'mugged' us.   The guide said it happens when whales get curious and come closer for a look.  Regulations mean we couldn't move while they were close... what a shame!  Fantasea indeed!

I saw whales for 4 to 5 times during this 2 hour tour. It would be nice if the duration is longer. It's super lucky to witness ceremony for the King Charles III on the sea, facing the Opera House and  the harbour bridge!! Also, nice staff and immediate response from email. Thankyou for bringing precious memories to my Australia trip😍😍😍

We have been wanting to go whale watching for a while and this cruise was totally worth it! As a family of four we had the best day. We saw more whales than we thought we would and Willow and Nick were both knowledgeable and accommodating. The boat was great. We loved hearing all the information about the whales and of Sydney Harbour as well. We would definitely recommend this company! Thanks guys for an amazing day! I’m sure we will see you again!
