Walvisspotcruise in Sydney met lunch

My husband and I had a wonderful time on this trip and even got to see a whale breach. However, it was a rough day at sea, and many of the people on our cruise ended up getting sick. We stayed outside and didn't let this interfere with our enjoyment; however, if you have a tendency to motion sickness, this is not the trip for you.

This was a great company for a whale watch. The tour guide was so informative about the humpback whales, and luckily we did get to see many whales!! We stayed out longer than the tour was scheduled as there were whales to watch!!!! The food for lunch was good. If you are prone to seasickness, probably a good idea to take a medicine to prevent seasickness, as quite a few people onboard were not feeling well.

Booked this experience for early June and was not disappointed! Nathan the skipper was very good at chasing the whales, and we saw 3 humpback whales breaching, among many others spouting and waving their fins! We also were welcomed by a pod of bottlenoss dolphins! Devlin our guide provided a running commentary with many fun facts about whales and the region. Although it was warm on the shore, it gets quite cold and wet from the wind and spray, so wrap up well! Waters get choppy in the open sea when chasing whale-sightings, so eat an appropriate portion of the buffet lunch (which was very tasty, but pace yourself) unless you want to see it reappearing.... Although I found the experience smooth-sailing, some people did unfortunately get seasick, so take that motion sickness pill! The crew were very ready with sick bags distributed early on at the start of the trip. All around a fantastic experience. Thank you to Sydney Princess Cruises for the amazing experience!!!

Incredible tour with fantastic crew. Was able to see to see humpback whales and dolphins. Definitely need to experience!

With a week of bad weather we were lucky the rain held out and we had seen some whales. They played peek a boo with us most the afternoon. Crew was great. Highly recommend.

This was a bit of a last minute decision but it turned out to be a great one! Staff were welcoming and friendly from the minute we got there. We were surprised at the quality of the buffet lunch, different salads, vegetables and meat options and tea and coffee. The best bit was seeing not just humpback whales in the wild but also dolphins and small sharks flying through the air! I’d begun to think we were going to see anything when I suddenly made my 1st sighting of a whale! We were so blessed with multiple sightings of these magnificent creatures, the type of memories that last a lifetime. Must also mention the wonderful guide, Dylan(?!) who entertained and informed with such genuine passion. His commentary varied from information about the harbour, lots of detail about whales, the importance of conservation and his own Māori heritage, it was all so interesting. Considering we were out for over four hours and had lunch, this trip is great value and definitely a highlight of our holiday to Sydney. We would have happily stayed out until dark! If you’re in Sydney, do this trip!

Spectacular experience all round. Beautiful kai, wonderful Māori MC, friendly informative staff. Comfortable boat. Stars of the show were the whales of course! And a couple of curious dolphins. Sydney Harbour is a wonderland full of history. Great vakue

Great experience heading out to the ocean to look for whales - we saw several during our time there! Food was also fantastic, and makes for a great experience to get to see Sydney from the water.

A must do for anyone visiting Sydney. It was exciting to watch the whales in their natural habitat splashing out like dolphins. I loved it and will do it again.

Had a wonderful boat trip from Sydney harbour in November. Very well organised and for all ages. Staff so helpful and informative. I knew the migration season was ending but was still hopeful of seeing some and this trip didn’t disappoint.
