Top thing to do in Sydney

WOW. What an experience! From the minute i arrived I felt like the team of Mette, Rex and Alex wanted to give us the best experience. Mette knows pretty much everything there is to know about Whales and as soon as we were out of the harbour Rex headed straight to our first encounter with these beautiful humpback whale mum’s and their calves. A truly fantastic experience.

INCREDIBLE

We took my sister & Friend on this tour, visiting from the UK, we were all honestly awestruck and on such a high for the rest of the holiday!! Honestly, it was better than we could have ever imagined… Whales breaching multiple times, they came up to us and were clearly thriving. Thank you to the Boat photographer and guides!
