Fantastic Experience

Saw over 50 breaches, the whales were very playful on the day and were quite close to the boat

Choose your day wisely

The vessel and staff were great, but they need to be a bit more descriptive when telling us before we get on there's a 2.5m swell. To the uninitiated, they don't know this means you'll be chucking your guts up and be wishing you were any where but on that vessel for the next 2 hours. It's no exaggeration when I say at least 60-70% of the people on board were sea sick. I'm an old sea dog, so I was ok, but the missus and kids where down as soon as we got past the heads. We were one of the bigger boats out there, so I'd hate to imagine what the people on the smaller boats had to deal with. Check swell conditions before booking. Iv attached a photo of the carnage below, can you spot the 6 people down and out?

Pretty nice experience

I did the Cruise during my 3 days in Sydney, unfortunately we didn't see any whales. There were big waves and therefore the cruise wasn't really peaceful even though the crew was very nice and tried to make everything they can to make us feel OK. At the end they told us that since we didn't see whales we could come back another time for free but in my situation I couldn't. I asked if I could get a refund but I have been told that the only thing possible was to come back another time. I know it's nature and you never know if the whales will show up or not but even if the crew was really nice I would have hope at least part of a refund and that's what left me a bit disappointed.
