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.

The cruise was a pleasant experience, though the food was nothing remarkable. While we caught a glimpse of the whale, it wasn’t the full sighting we had hoped for, which was a bit disappointing. Nevertheless, it was still a memorable outing. To top it off, we captured stunning photos of Sydney’s iconic harbourfront, showcasing the Opera House and Harbour Bridge in all their glory.

The lunch was delicious and healthy. No joke - best cole slaw I've ever had! The crew went above and beyond to ensure that we were all taken care of, safe, and - most importantly - saw WHALES! Loved the trip!
