About the trip

Our service operates 6 days a week in June and July. Shortly after you board the boat you'll embark on a short scenic cruise around the harbor before heading out past The Gap into the great Pacific Ocean where we will head out to around 3 nautical miles off shore to find the whales.

Northern Migration
During Winter 5000 Humpbacks Whales make the long journey from the Antarctic to migrate north past New Zealand and into Australia's northern coastal waters. They are heading north to give birth and mate in the waters of the Coral Sea. At this time of year they tend to swim constantly north at 4-5 knots (5-9km/h) and will have regular surface intervals. The migrating population is named the Group 5 Southern Hemisphere Humpback whale population. At this time the whales are utilizing the Inshore Northern current to assist them on the way north. This current is usually found only within 3 nautical miles (5.6 km) of the coast, so most of the migrating population will pass within this distance. This is the easiest time for shore based spotters to see the full population of humpback whales passing by the Sydney coast as they head north.Often on the Northern migration, especially when the currents are strong close to shore, a Humpback pod may enter the Harbor for a short time. Normally they will leave again within a few short hours and will rarely venture far from the Harbor entrance.

 
Typical Behavior

  • Breaching
  • Tail Slapping
  • Lunging
  • Spyhops
  • Mugging (approaching boats to inspect them)

Other Whales
Southern Right Whales, Minke Whales, False Killer Whales, Killer Whales and Pilot Whales will pass the coast at various times, as well as Migaloo, a rare male white Humpback that has been sighted off the east coast of Australia almost every year since 1991, so keep your eye out for him! Sperm Whales are present of the coast of Sydney but tend to stay near the edge of the continental shelf over 20 nautical miles (37 km) to sea, so are not often seen close to shore.

Dolphins
Large and small pods of Common and Bottlenose Dolphins are quite common on the Sydney Coastline and you may find them surfing the boats wake.
