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.

We had a great day out for lunch and whale watching , the weather was not the best but all crew were absolutely fantastic to make sure everyone was comfortable and nothing was a problem. Devlin provided the commentary on the cruise and he was fantastic, my Wife said he had a lovely voice and could listen to him all day lol All the crew went over and beyond to make the cruise special. It was our 22nd wedding anniversary so it made it one to remember! Looking forward to booking another day cruise Big Thank You !!!

Great buffet lunch on the way out to the whales. We saw numerous mama and babies at fairly close distance. It was just the right length of time.

Was a great experience. Very clean vessel, great food, friendly staff, saw a number of whales and it was very informative. Being a 4 hour trip was ideal as we had much more time looking for whales as opposed to spending so much time getting out to where they are and back again. I've used different companies and found this experience to be the best by far. Highly recommend.

From start to finish, the customer service was excellent. Clear instructions were provided before the event. The event hosts were very friendly and knowledgeable. The timing as great because the whales were very active. Thank you!

Due to limited bookings, vendor used smaller ship. Still very nice. Staff friendly and professional. Food good, but could have done with more than 3 small bites of chicken. Unique experience. Would recommend.

Fascinating and fantastic to see whales up close, and Personal. Don’t forget to bring your seasick medicine, in fact, take it before you leave for the tour. Other than that lunch was amazing, not your cheese sandwich, and water type of lunch, really good food. All in all, I can’t say enough good things about the tour.

Well organised , clear and knowledgeable commentator. We had a wonderful 4.5 hours and had the pleasure of seeing 4 humpbacks including a young calf. Mother and calf spent ages within reasonable distance of the boat, one of the highlights of my life . Thank you 😊 Lunch was good too !

You can’t guarantee that the whales will be very active. We did see some whales, tail slaps and fin slaps. They are amazing creatures. The boat was comfortable, the lunch was tasty and the crew were friendly. Would try Sydney Princess Cruise again - but earlier in the whale migration season.
