Great experience - got to see a few humpback whales. We saw them breaching out of the water, and the tour guide, Blake, knew a lot about the whales, their size, and their movements.

Martin y Juan were our guides and they were amazing!! They were patient and took care of us! They tried to make the experience the best as possible! Their knowledge and customer service was amazing!!
Amazing tour. Blake was very knowledgeable and had a great eye for spotting whales. I was lucky enough to see a whale breach numerous times. Couldn’t recommend enough!
The speed boat ride itself was a lot of fun and definitely one of the best parts of the experience. It was fast, exciting and a really enjoyable way to get out onto the water. The whale-watching part was a little more underwhelming, but I think that is simply the nature of this type of activity. Wildlife sightings always depend on luck, and although you may see whales, you should not necessarily expect the dramatic experience of seeing them jumping completely out of the water like in the promotional photos. Overall, I still enjoyed the trip, especially the speed boat ride. I would recommend it, just with realistic expectations about the whale-watching part.
Bucketlist experience done right, we almost ticked all the whale watching bingo!!! Martin and Juan were exceptional in guiding us and educating us about the beautiful whales — and made sure we got front row seats with safe distance!! Very much recommended to go with these guys 🙌🏻
The experience was brilliant great price very informative staff and the chance to see the whales was amazing and the extreme speed boat was awesome not too crowded well organised thanks to all the crew for a safe and fun day 😎
Fantastic experience, highly recommend. Even if you don’t see whales, the boat and being on the water that far out was amazing great time.
An early start to the day but well worth it. A belated whale watching birthday treat for my niece. The day started well with beautiful skies and a great rainbow as we were leaving Sydney Harbour - good omen. We had only just got out of the heads when we got our first whale - thought it was alone but there was two. We stuck with this pair the whole trip and we got lots of surface time but no breaches (they knew it was warmer in the water!) We did get tail slaps and a few fin displays plus dolphins and I love that you can see the albatross when on the water as they don't come to shore. The guys at Ocean Extreme are brilliant and so much knowledge and patience staying with the whales plus the best boats for viewing - so good being level with the ocean. We will be back.
I flew down from Cairns to go whale watching on my birthday. Beautiful calm day in Sydney with nil wind & calm seas. Ocean Extreme sent me a text and cancelled the trip due to strong winds and rough sea which was total @#%& see photos on the day. Not happy!
Hi Tina, Firstly, thank you for including the date in your screenshot because it allowed me to look up the actual offshore conditions we would have had to travel through to reach the whales. The whales were more than 4 nautical miles offshore that day. The offshore buoy recorded average wave heights of almost 3 metres, waves exceeding 4 metres, and strong southerly winds. For anyone reading this review, please don't take my word for it. Google the offshore conditions off Sydney on 8 July 2026 and ask whether it would have been appropriate for a small whale watching vessel to travel more than 4 nautical miles offshore in those conditions. I think you'll quickly understand why the decision was made. I also appreciate you posting photos from inside Sydney Harbour. They perfectly demonstrate why these situations can be so misleading. Sydney Harbour is not where we conduct our whale watching tours. Our destination was over 4 nautical miles offshore, where the conditions were completely different. We're a small family business, and during whale season we're almost fully booked every day. Cancelling costs us tens of thousands of dollars in lost revenue. We simply do not cancel unless we genuinely have to. If there was a safe way to operate, we would have been out there. Cancelling that day disappointed our passengers, disappointed our crew and cost our family business a significant amount of money. But we'd make exactly the same decision again because safety will always come first.
Exciting way to go whale watching! Was initially worried that I’d get sick (from someone with motion sickness) because of the speedboat’s bumpiness, but no one got ill. The guide was really keen to help us see the whales and was dedicated with sharing information about them. We got really close to the whales and they surfaced almost next to the boat! Overall would highly recommend!
