We had a great trip out with this company. We can't make a comparison because this is the only one we've tried but they were very good. We took the 3 hour trip which means you have a bigger boat and more facilities and shelter.
It took a while to locate a whale, but in the meantime a couple of dolphins joined us for the search! When we found the whales it was very exciting, but the crew were careful to ensure we kept a safe distance so as not to disrupt the migration.
Plenty of free tea, coffee biscuits and fruit on board ensured that our 3 and 5 year old were kept happy and the crew were very friendly and informative throughout.
Our guide said the whales were more plentiful than he had seen in a long time. We followed several groups of humpback whales. One came right next to the boat! The others were probably 100 yards away. They frequently "pec slapped", waved at us with their dorsal fin. It was more than we expected. The captain was even amazed at how soon after we left Sydney Harbour that we sighted whales.
Well worth the time and money
Caught the Whale watching boat from Sans Souci wharf, and what a fantastic day.
Whale watching was amazing, we saw 6 pods and 2 whales breached. The weather was perfect and the skipper (Mr. Ford Snr) was a wealth of information.
Absolutely fantastic and would recommend it. We are going back again in September for the migration south.
Good attraction if you have free day in Sydney.
