What Can You Expect?

Itinerary

Daily whale watching trips offering personal and up close experiences with migrating humpback whales. Our whale watching trips depart from Darling Harbour and have you back again in under 3 hours. You will get to view the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge and world famous Opera House before heading out of the harbour to get up close and personal with the migrating humpback whales.

Our custom built Whale Watching boat is designed to get you as close as possible to the action and we limit capacity to 25 people in order to make the experience as close to nature as possible.

We theme the boat in the history of 'ye olde' times and provide a commentary throughout the trip including the history of Sydney Harbour's whaling days and all the fun facts about the majestic humpback whale.

Our trips are family friendly and we welcome all ages. Our friendly crew will help with all aspects of the trip.

We offer a 'Whale Sighting Guarantee' if you don't see whales you can come again free of charge!

    Very nice and friendly crew. Although we cannot blame the business for that, but we can only see the whales at far and not as shown in the advertisements. Well, but this is nature, and they cannot be accounted for it.

    Fabulous trip, the weather was a little bit rough but it was fine. We saw 2 females and their calf’s. The boat managed to track them but not getting too close. The guide was very knowledgeable and she was happily to take questions. We had missed our original planned trip due to traffic jam, so make sure you get there in plenty of time, but they were very helpful and rearranged. We would definitely recommend them

    My mum and I really enjoyed the tour. We got to see 3 male whales, that were playing with each other. There were 2 team members on board, the captain and the tour guide. Both team members were very knowledgeable. The captain was very quick to stir the ship in the direction of the whales, the tour guide shared a lot of information about the whales all throughout the tour, and she even climbed on the top deck to have a better view of spotting the whales - true dedication to her job! A++ to both of them! :) However, I would like to point out below the weak spots of management. Firstly, it was not very clearly identifiable and understandable where the boat will park. Barangaroo avenue 1A is not clearly marked anywhere physically. Secondly, due to the nature of the pick-up point, the management team is not allowed to put up any signs of their own - too bad. Cost cutting leads to literally zero exposure to the public (a lot of tourists on the avenue) and confusion from existing one-time customers. I would suggest the management team to find a proper spot for embarking/disembarking that can be very visible to everybody. Thirdly and lastly, the name of the company "whale tales" is not mentioned anywhere on the boat or the crew uniform. So, even if you see a boat approaching the coast, you cannot understand whether it is the boat you are looking for or not :) I would suggest either changing the name of the boat, or at least adding the name of the company somewhere onto the boat.
