This is Sydney's only true 3 in 1 whale watching cruise. Including a city sights cruise with live commentary on Sydney's history both past and present, BBQ lunch and whale watch experience on the ultimate Sydney Harbour cruise. Relax while you see the sights of Sydney from the water as you cruise around Sydney Harbour and dine on a BBQ buffet lunch or breakfast (sat/sun only) served on board. Then head out into the open sea to go whale watching, pass through the Sydney Harbour Heads. Your crew will locate and provide informative commentary on the whales and their activity. These giants of the sea once nearly hunted to extinction, it is believed in history the humpback population was once as low as 200 whales.

Highly recommend! The boat is larger and more comfortable than the other boats I saw giving tours. The guide did an excellent job pointing out the whales and relating information about them. I toured on 2 Oct 2025. I didn’t count, but estimate we had at least 25 good sightings. I was able to get several good pictures and videos. The tour information on the Viator app was completely accurate. Booking, payment, check in, directions to the meeting point, etc., all easy to do. In addition to great whale watching, the harbor tour was beautiful and informative.
We were fortunate enough...

We were fortunate enough to spot a whale family, and it was certainly an incredible experience to watch them in the wild.
Phenomenally Wonderful Sightings

Beyond the whale watching, sadly to highlight was the BBQ buffet lunch. There was only 1 chance for each person to take a long queue to collect the gathering food trays food scoped by the server, minimum offered and everyone only given 1pc, bun, braised chicken, sausage, salads, mixed vege, coffee machine drinks.. if you thinking to take the 2nd round, sorry, the food trays closed. Staving the whole trip if you not to take the bun or anyone of the tray at your 1st chance.
