 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great morning whale watching with Whale Tales. We saw several humpback whales and learned a lot from the staff, who were very knowledgeable and clearly passionate about what they are doing. The boat was comfortable with plenty of room for all guests to see the action easily. They also provided beautiful photos (included in the ticket price!) that were taken by their photographer.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Whale Tales was a wonderful & seamless experience. It was well organised, maximum 34 people & professional staff. Jono (the Cetologist) & the Skipper were brilliant. I loved all the information about the Whales - what majestic creatures & they are the ‘ Global Engineers of the Earth’ - critical for our survival. Very educational & you realised how very nearly, these beautiful mammals nearly became extinct 😞. We saw a whale breaching, another one coming straight of the water to check us out, lots of tail fins. The small boat could get to the whale site quickly. We had a marvellous experience! Loved it 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

They were so very friendly and had such great knowledge about the habits of whales, their needs and the dangers to them, their migration and what their movements (fin slapping, tale in air, etc) meant.  For us it was truly a spectacular “humpback highway” as we saw so many!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We booked in last minute on a Whale Watching tour while in Sydney for the Marathon and our honeymoon. We weren’t sure what to expect, but before we had even fully left the harbor, Mette was sharing all sorts of amazing whale information with us. We ended up in the middle of three pods of whales and had unbelievable interactions with them. I took probably 300 photos and videos of them waving their fins and tails at us. Mette was phenomenal and provided much wanted insight into the whales’ behavior that we were observing!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I know it’s hard finding the right thing when there are lots of options, so hopefully this review cuts through. Whale Tales were amazing. We were absolutely thrilled to see a few humpbacks, which was of course amazing. But the generosity of the crew and skipper to hang around, then see another whale after we’d already been spoilt with a breach, AND then crawl back through Sydney harbour giving us the best views of the bridge and Opera house you could hope. If that wasn’t enough, they also brought along a photographer and the photos she took were both amazing, and included in the package. In total, the tour can be described as nothing other than supremely generous. Very, very fairly priced and a family run business, it was a real highlight of our trip. Highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a great experience today. Saw multiple whales. The last 30 minutes we had two whales that hung out very close; floating with their bellies showing and slapping their pectoral fins. And dolphins as a bonus!!! The crew were great and very informative. You can tell they genuinely care about these amazing creatures. Beautiful day, would highly recommend Whale Tales!
