Excellent!

Doug and his trainee were fantastic! Laid back, friendly, knowledgeable, respectful of the whales boundaries. Such a nice way to see the whales, no overcrowded power boats. A classy tour! Thanks so much!

Fabulous whale watching

Absolutely amazing great to be on a small sail boat with only 12 guests. Enabled us to get so close and have the best views .saw so many whales and a little bonus trip to Bondi x

Fun adventure! Fantastic hosts!

This was such a fun experience with a smaller group than on the larger charters. The hosts cared about making sure everyone was comfortable and well equipped for the tour. The pickup point was at the same dock area as the rose point ferry dropoff, so it made getting there very easy. It was a lovely time at sea!

Great excursion

We had a fantastic few hours on this whale watching trip. It’s in Rose Bay, an easy & short bus ride from Sydney. There’s also a lovely café opposite the wharf, perfect for lunch before the trip or to grab something to take on board. Doug and Sharon were incredibly welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable, making the whole experience feel relaxed and personal. We were lucky enough to see both whales and seals, which I wasn’t banking on! I would thoroughly recommend this tour. It was so much more personal than the larger whale watching boats we saw, which were absolutely packed with people. If you’re looking for a more intimate, enjoyable experience, this is the one to choose!

Whales, dolphins, seals, what more could you ask for

What a fantastic morning. Had a little issue with the meeting point (apps fault not provider) and they patiently waited a few extra minutes for us to arrive. Saw dolphins, seals and of course Whales. Crew were awesome, informative and fun

Beautiful sailboat experience

This is by far the best choice if you appreciate a less expensive, smaller, peaceful whale watching experience on a sailboat, rather than a noisier, packed, larger boat. The skipper was very knowledgeable of the ocean and how to find and predict where whales would be located. Over several hours we saw multiple whales and respectfully followed at a reasonable distance. I can honestly say that this was one of the best whale watching experiences I have had.

Whale lovers must do tour!

The captain is experienced and he will find the whales! We were blessed with two active whales that put on quite a show for us! I recommend this tour to all except for the seasick prone passengers!
