About This Experience
This 2.5-hour whale watching cruise from Aquarium Wharf, Darling Harbour, combines comfortable sightseeing with the chance to see migrating Humpback Whales just beyond Sydney Heads. Travelling aboard a purpose-built, wheelchair-accessible catamaran, you'll enjoy spacious indoor and outdoor viewing areas, expert commentary, complimentary tea and coffee, professional photography, and a whale sighting guarantee with a free return cruise if no whales are spotted.
The Whale Discovery Experience
After departing Darling Harbour, you'll cruise past some of Sydney's best-known landmarks, including the Harbour Bridge, Opera House, Circular Quay and Fort Denison, before reaching the open ocean in around 25 minutes. Settle into the air-conditioned cabin with its large panoramic windows, or head out onto the expansive viewing decks for uninterrupted ocean views.
Once the whales are located, the pace slows so you can watch these incredible animals as they breach, tail slap, spy-hop or simply glide alongside the boat. During the cruise, the experienced crew shares fascinating insights into Humpback Whale behaviour, migration and conservation, while a professional photographer captures the highlights of your adventure. Complimentary tea and coffee are included, with additional drinks and snacks available for purchase onboard. And if the whales decide not to make an appearance, you can return on another cruise free of charge under the Whale Sighting Guarantee.
Who Is This Cruise Best-Suited For
This cruise is ideal for families, first-time whale watchers, seniors and guests requiring wheelchair access who want a relaxed, comfortable whale watching experience with value-added inclusions.
