The vessel was clean, staff very friendly. We were provided with sea sickness bags, which came in handy for some passengers. The commentary by the guide was also very informative but the PA system was not loud and clear enough. So half of what he narrated was lost on us, a pity.

We felt very lucky- sailed out of the Sydney heads and quickly saw a whale with calf. Followed them and saw lots of action, the boat felt safe and the sun was shining on us.

    Headout's price is better than Captain Cook's web site. We're so lucky to see many 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.
