What To Expect

Start your day when you arrive to Circular Quay Wharf 6 and collect your Whale Watching, Zoo Entry and Return Ferry tickets from our friendly staff at the ticket office. Depart on your Whale watching vessel at 9:30am and venture out of Sydney Heads in search of the majestic Humpback, and occasional Southern Right Whale. Make sure to bring your camera as Humpback sightings continue to increase every year and these amazing mammals just love to show off tail slaps and breaches. Cruise back inside Sydney Harbour, past the beautiful eastern suburbs and disembark at Taronga Zoo at approx. 11:55am. The Zoo is located right on the foreshore of Sydney Harbour and you can enjoy some of the best views of Sydney from inside the park. Taronga Zoo houses a large variety of Australia's amazing wildlife, including Koalas and platypus and animals of the world, including Asian elephants, lions and giraffe. Once you have explored all of what Taronga Zoo has to offer, make your way back down to Taronga Zoo ferry wharf to jump on a rocket ferry to finish your day back at Circular Quay Wharf 6. Please refer to your timetable, issued at check-in, for your preferred return ferry time from the zoo.

    We saw whales almost immediately after leaving the harbor! We followed a jumping calf and mom for a good 30min, getting some great photos and good commentary throughout. Fantastic experience!

    Excellent experience. Managed to catch some whales up close, was definitely a spectacular sight. The Taronga zoo is amazing too, with their native animals. Worth the visit!

    We could see the whales and the trip was very nice and the weather was also good. The guide has clear ideas about where and what time the whales will see.
