So close to the whales

A curious whale came right up to the boat and hung around for ages. The guides were passionate and knew heaps about the humpbacks. Unforgettable.

Better than I imagined

We saw more whales than I ever expected — breaching, spy-hopping, the lot. The crew were brilliant and even guaranteed a sighting. Do it!

Whales put on a show!

We had humpbacks breaching right beside the boat — mums and calves waving their fins. The crew clearly knew where to find them. Magical morning.

Humpbacks stole the show

These gentle giants breached so close we got soaked and did not care one bit. The guides were fantastic with the kids too.

Great morning on the water

Plenty of whale activity and a knowledgeable crew. Would have liked a touch longer out there but a wonderful experience overall.

Amazing sightings

Saw multiple whales breaching and tail-slapping. Bit of swell out there but the skipper positioned us perfectly for photos. Loved it.

About Sydney: Taronga Zoo & Whale Watching Cruise (1-Day combo)

Operated by Captain Cook Cruises · 7 Hours · Sydney, NSW

Start your day on the water with a Sydney whale watching cruise, where the city skyline gives way to open ocean and the chance to spot humpbacks and southern right whales as they travel along the coast. With expert commentary on board and multi-deck viewing areas, you’ll have plenty of room to take in the fresh sea air, scan the horizon, and feel that buzz when a whale surfaces nearby.

After your cruise, you’ll arrive at Taronga Zoo Wharf and head straight into one of Sydney’s most iconic wildlife experiences. Spend the afternoon wandering at your own pace, meeting native Australian animals and international species, before finishing with a scenic ferry ride back to Circular Quay. It’s a relaxed, easygoing day that combines marine life, harbour scenery and zoo time in one neat Sydney package — and it’s a brilliant way to see the city from a different angle.

Know before you go: - This is an open-water cruise, so expect some sea motion and dress for conditions that may feel cooler out on the water. - We recommend eating lightly before boarding and, if you’re prone to motion sickness, taking travel-sickness tablets beforehand. - Smoking is not permitted on board. - All passenger names and emergency contact details are required by law before travel. - Please reconfirm your cruise from 7:15am on the day of departure by calling +61 2 8062 3623. - All travel must be completed on the same day, and the operator may change vessels or itineraries without notice if required.
