The best season to see some Whales around Sydney is during their migration along the coast, so from June to November.

There is an 80-95% chance of seeing some Whales during the season, depending on the weather. You may spot humpback whales, southern right whales, and sometimes dolphins or other marine life if you are lucky. 

The boat leaving from the Eastern Pontoon in Circular Quay, Sydney.

Depending on the boat used for the tour, it ranges around 150 and 300 people. You have access to different indoor and outdoor areas, deck or rooftop.

In case of bad Weather, the Tour can be cancelled and refund or reschedule. 

In the Whale Watching Tour, you have to bring your camera, a bottle of water, a cap and a jacket or jumper.  But most important thing that you need to bring is… a positive attitude !

Shout out to Max for his guidance! He listened to my requirements and helped me figure out what I really wanted, and he explained the options in depth. With his help, I was able to have a fun day combining a flight over the reef with an excursion to Fitzroy island. All bookings went smooth. Great service!

So happy with the service and help I received from these guys, huge shout out to Tony ( absolute legend ) for helping me with all my questions and two bookings- fishing charter and 2 intro dives + snorkel with Divers den. I did a whale watching tour in Sydney, and then came here and while heading to the reef for the dive, we got to see a humpback whale breach the water at least a dozen times ! The first breach from this whale in cairns, would have beaten the whole tour in Sydney and it was an entire seperate experience as well (dive). Absolutely 1000% recommend these guys and any of their recommendations and advice when planning your trip and activities in cairns.
