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. The conservation of these beautiful animals has led to the humpback population being at a safe level to avoid extinction.

Amazing! the food was lovely, the host was so good and gave a lot of history of Sydney and information. Be prepared to wait for the whales to make there appearance, but worth it!

Had an amazing time on this boat cruise, the food provided was lovely. And not only did I get to see whales I also got to see dolphins. It took awhile before they were seen, but it's nature you can't be sure what you will see and when. Also I wasn't able to get my own photos of the whale very well, due to the amount of people in front of me, but at the end of the tour gave the guide my email address and the same day he had sent photos he had taken of the whale which were amazing. I had such a lovely day. Definitely bring warm clothing for been out on the water, sun was shining one minute then was very cold the next when there wasn't sun shining directly on me.
