What to expect

Sydney whale watching cruise is a unique local experience, giving tourists the opportunity to watch whales up close. The whale watching season generally lasts from May to November each year. During this period, more than 20,000 humpback whales will undertake the 3,500-kilometer migration journey.


Popular whale watching cruises usually depart from Darling Harbor or Circular Quay. Whale watching cruises are generally equipped with advanced equipment, allowing you to enjoy the sea trip without missing any whale watching opportunities.
