I really liked the way there was a person to talk about the history of whales and why they migrate. It was a really interesting story. However, we could not see the whales as magnificent as we saw on the videos which was a bit disappointing.

Cruise from Circular Quay on a 2.5-hour whale watching adventure, featuring expert commentary and stunning views of Sydney’s Opera House and Harbour Bridge, all from a modern catamaran with spacious decks and accessible amenities.

Benefit from a whale sighting guarantee. Rebook for free within the same season if no whales are spotted.

Personalize your experience: Add general admission to Taronga Zoo and return rocket ferry transfers for a seamless wildlife day out, or choose a 2-day hop-on hop-off ferry pass to explore six iconic Sydney Harbour stops, including Manly, Watsons Bay, and Shark Island, at your own pace.

Enjoy the trusted service and high whale sighting success rate of Captain Cook Cruises, making this the ideal way to experience Sydney’s marine life and harbour highlights in one easy booking.

It's wonderful to see whales freely swimming in the vast ocean, and I commend the efforts made by the Australian government and conservation organizations! The only slight regret is that we were a bit farther away from the whales.

The MC lady / and the Guide ( had a loud voice was good and helpful). The lady had a considerabe knowledge of the whales, The megaphone could have been more louder. I suppose there were a lot of children on board. Otherwise it was good . It was my first experience. I did not realise the vessel would be so bumpy. In the end I did enjoy the trip. Thank you

Seeing the whales, cruising on the waves and learning information about the whales

Your journey begins at Circular Quay, where you’ll board a modern, purpose-built catamaran with indoor and outdoor seating. Once onboard, settle in and enjoy a welcome from the crew and marine experts who will guide you through the experience with live commentary.

If you’ve selected a combo option, your whale-watching tour is only the beginning:

Those with the Taronga Zoo upgrade will disembark directly at the zoo’s lower entrance after the cruise, avoiding queues and shuttle buses.

With the 2-day hop-on hop-off ferry pass, you can begin exploring additional destinations like Manly, Darling Harbour, and Watsons Bay at your leisure. Printed maps and smartphone commentary are included to help guide your ferry adventure.

What to expect

Cruise past Sydney’s world-famous landmarks — the Opera House, Harbour Bridge, and beyond — before heading into the Pacific Ocean to encounter humpback whales in their natural environment. With a high sighting success rate and a whale sighting guarantee, you’re all but assured of a life-changing encounter during this 2.5-hour expedition.

Enjoy comfortable viewing from spacious outdoor decks or relax indoors as expert marine naturalists share fascinating whale facts, behaviours, and conservation efforts. Keep your eyes open — aside from majestic whales, you may also spot dolphins, seals, and seabirds.

After your cruise, continue your Sydney adventure with included access (if selected) to iconic attractions like Taronga Zoo or keep exploring at your own pace with the 2-day hop-on hop-off ferry pass, making getting around Sydney as easy and scenic as it gets.
