What a great day - we had a fantastic time 'chasing' all the sightings. We were able to see many whales, and it was a professional end extremely friendly day. Thanks so much to the sailing company. I would recommend this trip to anyone.

This is really good, and there's a very personal group which is fantastic -- there were just three of us when I did it. It's a lot of fun trying to spot and get closer to the whales. I also got a chance to help sail the boat through the harbour, which definitely made this an experience I will never forget. The best thing was that I didn't get seasick even though I usually do. I was probably having too much of a good time to feel seasick!

It was a very enjoyable day, we had perfect weather, beautiful sunny Sydney morning, saw a few pods of whales - just magical!! What a great way to also see the sights of Sydney, Luna Park, Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge... Highly recommended!

Never saw any whales, but saw a lot of dolphins, got a good suntan, and had a very good pilot.

It was an amazing trip. We were the only ones on the boat that day, so it was amazing to have to all to ourselves. Our captain was a great guy! We saw some awesome humpback whales. We got to see their faces and a tail. We weren't lucky enough to see a whale breach nearby, but it was still exceptional.

My sister from overseas and niece and I enjoyed the special experience of whale watching together.

Sit back, relax, enjoy the sunshine and with a bit of luck view dolphin and whales. Sydney harbour has the famous Opera House, the harbour bridge, quiet coves, secluded beaches and soaring headlands. This is a personalized tour and the operators are passionate about whales!

Great boat and nice not to have many people on board - it made it less commercial. Only downside was the Whales were further out and it took us longer to get there.
