Rainy Skies, Amazing Whales
Despite the wet and miserable weather, our whale watching tour with Go Whale Watching was an unforgettable experience! We were incredibly lucky to spend time with five magnificent humpback whales. While they didn't put on a breaching show for us, simply seeing these gentle giants up close in their natural habitat was absolutely breathtaking. It was such a special experience and a real privilege to witness them in the wild. What made the trip even more enjoyable was the amazing Go Whale Watching team. They were professional, informative, and genuinely friendly, making everyone feel welcome and ensuring we had a fantastic experience despite the weather. Their passion and knowledge really added to the day. We came away with wonderful memories that we'll treasure for years to come. If you're thinking about going whale watching, don't let a bit of rain stop you—you never know what incredible wildlife encounters await! We had an amazing time and will definitely be booking with Go Whale Watching again in the future. Highly recommended!

Magical experience!
A truly magical experience! This was my second trip with this company, and I can’t recommend them enough! The staff were lovely, caring, and professional, and the captain shared fascinating information about the whales throughout the journey. We were fortunate enough to see at least six whales. I highly recommend this company and would happily go again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Pretty nice experience
I did the Cruise during my 3 days in Sydney, unfortunately we didn't see any whales. There were big waves and therefore the cruise wasn't really peaceful even though the crew was very nice and tried to make everything they can to make us feel OK. At the end they told us that since we didn't see whales we could come back another time for free but in my situation I couldn't. I asked if I could get a refund but I have been told that the only thing possible was to come back another time. I know it's nature and you never know if the whales will show up or not but even if the crew was really nice I would have hope at least part of a refund and that's what left me a bit disappointed.

Choose your day wisely
The vessel and staff were great, but they need to be a bit more descriptive when telling us before we get on there's a 2.5m swell. To the uninitiated, they don't know this means you'll be chucking your guts up and be wishing you were any where but on that vessel for the next 2 hours. It's no exaggeration when I say at least 60-70% of the people on board were sea sick. I'm an old sea dog, so I was ok, but the missus and kids where down as soon as we got past the heads. We were one of the bigger boats out there, so I'd hate to imagine what the people on the smaller boats had to deal with. Check swell conditions before booking. Iv attached a photo of the carnage below, can you spot the 6 people down and out?

Fantastic Experience
Saw over 50 breaches, the whales were very playful on the day and were quite close to the boat
