Whale Watching Cruise (May-Nov)

Here’s your chance to see whales in the wild on an exhilarating cruise from Sydney Harbour. Reaching speeds of up to 20 knots, the luxury Fantasea vessel is in open water within minutes, ready to slow down and pause to watch as humpback whales put on a show on their annual migration from Antarctica to the warmer climes of the Great Barrier Reef. Humpbacks are by far the most common whale here, but you might get even luckier: passengers have been known to spot the occasional orca, blue whale or sperm whale, and bottlenose dolphins are also a fairly common sight. Watching these majestic creatures as they breach the surface is one of nature’s great theatrical displays and – as long as they’re playing ball – you’re all but guaranteed a whale of a time!
