Full description
Experience a miracle of the natural world on a whale watching cruise from Sydney Harbour. Go in search of the migrating whales that turn the Pacific Ocean waters near Sydney into a prime viewing spot for southern right and humpback whales between the months of May and November. Cruise aboard a great vessel and benefit from full commentary and guaranteed whale sightings. As many as 15,000 whales swim past Sydney every year. Encounter whale activity, including the famous whale breaches when they jump high out of the water. You may even get a close-up wink from a whale when they are feeling extra curious! Get the chance to see southern rights, orcas and minke whales in their natural environment, along with playful dolphins, seals, fairy penguins, albatross and more. Whale sightings are 95% guaranteed. In the unlikely event that you don't see any whales, you can cruise again in the same season for free (on a standby basis and confirmed 24 hours in advance, subject to availability).

Preis-Leistung ist iO Es ist nicht vergleichbar mit einer Privattour, sondern man nimmt hier in Kauf, dass noch 50–100 Mitteisende auch zum besten Sitz und der jeweils besten Aussichtsstelle eilen, sobald Wale gesichtet wurde. Guide Paul war witzig und wir hatten Glück mit den Walen.
