GetYourGuide traveler – United KingdomNovember 19, 2023 – Verified booking
The first trip, we only saw 1 whale. So the company was true to its word and offered a free trip. Second time around we saw several whales, including one leaping. The crew used mikes to tell us where to look, but the wound system was internal to the boat and couldn't be heard outside. So they sat outside and shouted for us.

The tour should last 3 hours. Unfortunately we didn't see anything for the first 2 1/2 hours and we were already disappointed on the way back. We still saw 5 whales. The tour ended up lasting longer than 3 hours because we followed the baby whale and its mother for at least half an hour. Just breathtaking. The crew was very nice and watching the whales in the ocean was indescribable.

The seas were rough but the captain and all the crew warned everyone about the rough seas before departing, and handed sea sick bags out. The captain did at one point say the seas were too rough and we were heading back in when we spotted some whales. It was wonderful to see a two calfs, two moms and an escort whale. One of the mamma whales used her tail to hit the water giving us a hint that we should not be so close to her baby. When in Sydney will take another tour with them.
