Whale Watching Sydney

Whale Watching Sydney The best whale watching cruises in Sydney with over 30 years of experience. Hop on board Sydney's bes It's an unforgettable experience!

At Whale Watching Sydney we have been watching Humpback Whales off our beautiful coastline since 1993, so we know the great feeling that people get
seeing these whales up close and personal. Our experienced crew is looking forward to welcome you aboard Sydneys best custom built, fast and spacious
vessels to give you the best day possible out at sea. From mid May to early December tens of thousands

of Humpback Whales migrate along the coast off Sydney each year. Your cruise begins with all of Sydney Harbours famous sights such as the Opera House, the Harbour Bridge,
Watsons Bay and many more as we make our way towards the entrance of Sydney Harbour. Then we head to the blue waters of the pacific ocean where we witness these magnificent mammals migrate past
Sydney's famous beaches and rugged cliff lines in the biggest mass migration in the world.

We got lucky this morning before the big weather and swell started to roll in! A long search ended with a very lively whale breaching into the wind and waves near South Head. Some dolphins also came to play and gave us some serious air time!

The competition pods are here!

We had a busy time on the Humpback Highway from our Adventure cruise today, with several pods of males spotted early in the day lunging and sizing each other up to impress the ladies! It’s was calm condition on the water today, but it looks like tomorrow might get rough!

Sunday and Monday are looking promising so let hope for some action out there!

Beautiful conditions again today on the Humpback Highway!

The numbers are definitely starting to pick up with pods in all directions! We had some stunning close passes and huge tails throws with even some surprise breaches!

Our Express morning cruise was an unforgettable one! 🚀

A few chin scratching head lunges and a couple of breaches to make us cheer them on.

If you look closely at the second image, you can see whales baleen in its mouth, instead of teeth like ours, humpback whales have keratin (the same stuff our finger nails and hair is made up of) in their mouth which are formed as plates to help them with filter feeding. 🐋😬

The whales made us work for it today but heading as far North as we could we found this playful breacher getting some air time!

It was beautiful on the water today and we can’t wait to see lots more active whales in the coming weeks!

I guess we should have stayed in the harbour today! 🥹

Usually humpback whales swim straight past the harbour entrance on their way north, but occasionally they take a left hand turn and take the scenic route through the harbour.

After a lap or two, they usually find their way out again and continue their journey north! 🐳

Tomorrow isn't looking the best in terms of weather, with only our 9:45 cruise from Darling Harbour sailing, but from Saturday onwards we will FINALLY see some sunshine 🤞🌞

Wet, Windy and Wild out on the Tasman Sea today!

The whales mostly decided to keep their heads down, but the dolphins decided it was time for a show with some aerial antics! We had a few distance breaches, which tells us the action is starting to get get exciting!

There’s some big weather approaching for tomorrow but the weekend is looking promising. Come and join us for an adventure on the open ocean!
