Ocean Extreme

Whale watching tour agency

👍👍 It was an incredible experience! The pod we followed was a small one made up of 2 whales but we got plenty of breaches and fin slapping. We were fortunate enough to have a beautiful sunny weather with no clouds in the sky (we did the 8 am session). Our guide entertained us with interesting whale fac...

Cronulla Whale Watching

Whale watching tour agency

👍👍 What an amazing experience to have witnessed! We saw so many whales making their southern migration we almost didn't know which direction to look! Mothers and calves showing their skills they were breaching, tale slapping and making the most amazing sounds, they sounded like elephants of the sea. Th...

Imagine Cruises

Tourist attraction

👍👍 What an amazing experience today out whale watching with Imagine Cruises. The trip totally exceeded my expectations and I was thrilled that I encountered multiple whales, dolphins and a few seals. I’m feeling very lucky as what I witnessed was so special. The crew were very friendly and the captai...

Sydney By Sail

Boat rental service

👍👍 I can't recommend Sydney by Sail enough. As a Sailor since 7, it was incredible to be on the other side of the World, and sailing an Adams 10 metre racing yacht in Black Water on Sydney Harbor past the Opera House, with the Kookaburra 3 playing around out there with us. I think it may have been...

Port Jet Cruises

Cruise agency

👍 We did a cruise this afternoon along the Hastings River and we had a lovely time! Sadly no dolphins on our trip, but we did get to use the boom net which was a lot of fun. Apparently you can get ‘fish and chips’ on the cruise but we didn’t get that option. They did offer to bring our wine glasses...

NOVA Cruises

Whale watching tour agency

👍👍 Re review from Kimberly stating not much food. We were on the lunch cruise on Sunday. There was heaps of food and after all tables had first serving we were told to help ourselves to further servings. The staff were topping up the dishes as soon as they were becoming empty. Had a wonderful time, v...

Terrigal Ocean Tours

Tour agency

👍 Amazing experience. The size of the boat means that you feel very close to the action. The tour left on time and was easy to find. Only downside was that I didn’t get a response to some emails sent in the lead up.

Dolphin and Whale Watch Booking Agency Nelson Bay / Port Stephens

Tourist attraction

👍👍 We loved the more intimate size of the boat. Especially in Covid19 times. 😷😷😷 Lots of fun watching the dolphins 🐬🐬🐬, and playing water games 💦💦 (sliding down in the water and hanging out in the side net)

Whale Watching Sydney

Whale watching tour agency

👍👍 Passionate and caring team. Comfortable ferry for two hour cruise, did see several whales! Well worth of the price. Highly recommend but choose a sunny day and non-windy day!

Captain Cook Cruises - Circular Quay

Cruise agency

👍 You’re paying for the views. The food and service was okay. You can specify when purchasing your ticket for allergies/dietary restrictions. My waiter seemed very annoyed when I asked for a refill on my water, but the fish and salad were very salty and I didn’t want to inhale my wine. Sunset cruis...

Captain Cook Cruises - King Street Wharf

Cruise line company

👍👍 It was an amazing experience from booking through to onboard service. 90 minutes of relaxed cruise around the harbour with breathtaking views just was perfect with the right speed and perfectly catered to with lovely cheese platter and wine to relish and enjoy the views. The inside equally matched...

Oz Whale Watching

Whale watching tour agency

👍 Our trip was good, we didn’t get a chance to see whales properly as it was a cloudy and rainy day, but the service from the crew members was satisfactory. I think it would be better if the meal could have been provided at the end of the trip while returning to the harbour as taking the meal earlier...
