Join this 2.5 hour Sydney Whale Watching Experience&nbsp;and create&nbsp;lifelong memories of up close and personal experiences with the ocean&#39;s biggest and most majestic creatures!

&nbsp;

Every year over 40,000 humpback whales migrate along the east coast of Australia.&nbsp;During May-August, the whales travel north from their feeding grounds in Antarctica to the calm tropical waters of the north to have their calves. Then, around August, the whales begin to head south again with their calves to return to their southern feeding grounds.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

On this 2.5 hour tour, keep an eye out for humpback whales as they launch themselves out of the water, with&nbsp;humpback whales seeming to breach more frequently than other species. It&#39;s an incredible sight to see!

&nbsp;

Being a genuinely wild adventure, it is possible to see a wide variety of marine animals, dolphins, minke whales, orcas and seals while on your humpback whale-watching cruise.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

The boat will pick you up from the Barangaroo Wharf&nbsp;(directly out the front of Crown Tower Sydney)&nbsp; and cruise past the world-famous Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House before proceeding to sea to begin your incredible whale-watching encounter.

&nbsp;

With only 30 passengers, this cruise offers a personal experience, and the knowledgeable staff will provide you with facts about the harbour &amp; its whaling history.

&nbsp;

The custom-built vessel,&nbsp;Whale Tales,&nbsp;allows you to get up close and personal with the whales. Unlike other boats, it has purpose-built viewing along both sides, allowing you to be at water level and within arm&#39;s reach of the water.
