Absolutely wonderful! Saw 4-5 whales after about 40 mins of starting the tour. The tour guides were fantastic, knowledgeable and super careful around the whales.
Loved the beautiful views of the Opera House and bridge as we headed out. Saw quite a few whales and guide did a good job pointing them out for us. On the way out there, we sat on the top deck in the back and were unable to hear what the guide said even though there was a speaker. Very fun trip overall!

Today’s whale watching trip was unforgettable, with several whales spotted and three coming very close to the boat.
Today’s whale watching trip was an unforgettable experience, even though we didn’t get lucky enough to witness a full breach. We did, however, see several whales during the tour, and at one point, three of them came exceptionally close to our boat. Being able to observe these majestic creatures up close was truly awe-inspiring. I think the trip was completely worth it.

Great experience in evening whale watching tour from circular quay.
The experience was good. We saw 20 or so humpback whales in action. It was nice weather too and a great experience to visit the whales from close by. Happy with the visit. I will recommend this tour for first timer whale watchers and also for repeat visits.
