Prepare for an exhilarating whale-watching experience in Sydney on Ocean Extreme's high-speed RIBs. Departing from Circular Quay or Manly Wharf, this 1.5 to 2-hour tour offers a thrilling and intimate encounter with humpback whales guaranteed to make an appearance.
Select your departure point — either Circular Quay or Manly Wharf — based on the option chosen during booking. Aboard their military-grade vessels, Extreme or Orca (the latter accommodating up to 12 guests for a more exclusive experience), you'll be greeted by an expert skipper.
Following a safety briefing and gear check, suit up and brace yourself as your vessel departs from the harbor past Sydney’s iconic skyline. Departures occur daily from May through November during whale migration season. Note: all participants must be at least 12 years old.
Your skipper will navigate out of Sydney Heads and into the Tasman Sea, utilizing high-performance RIBs designed for speed and stability as they head towards humpback territory.
In open waters, your expert guide maintains radio contact with other boats to locate active whale pods. Expect thrilling sights such as breaching whales, curious approaches, and tail slaps from these majestic marine giants.
Enjoy a personal tour experience with up to 12 passengers on Orca or 21 on Extreme, ensuring unobstructed views of the ocean's wonders. With a guarantee of whale sightings, you'll receive a complimentary return trip if no whales are spotted during your initial outing.
This high-adrenaline cruise offers an memorable adventure with stunning encounters against Sydney’s iconic backdrop. Whether you're seeking thrills or wildlife wonders, this experience promises lasting memories on the open ocean.
