Traveler reviews
Whales watching and zoo
The team were very well organised and welcoming. We felt safe throughout the day and were greatly entertained
Awesome trip!
Bring sun screen or a hat! We saw a lot of whale activity. A mother and calf, a full breach and a tail. Lots of fun! The Taronga Zoo is awesome. Lots of character and animals. Also lots of steps and hills so be prepared to climb! Beautiful views of the harbor.
Rough seas-Beware!
Seas were very rough and many passengers got very seasick! This really ruined the entire day. Yes, we saw whales. Yes, the Taronga Zoo was impressive. But, after repeatedly tossing my cookies, my entire day was wrecked.
WHALE of a time!!!
Make sure you wear a sweater or light jacket and a hat, it gets cold but the sun beats down on your head. Take a bottle of water too. We saw lots of ‘ blow holes, tails and small breeches from the whales, we even got “mugged” by one of the younger humpback whales. We also saw some playful dolphins that were jumping right out of the water. The tour guide was very informative and the captain made sure to keep moving the boat in the direction of the whales. GREAT experience!!!
