Few experiences compare to witnessing the raw power of a humpback whale breaching from the open ocean, and Sydney whale watching tours give you a front-row seat to one of nature's most breathtaking spectacles. Every year between May and November, thousands of humpback whales migrate along the New South Wales coastline, passing directly through Sydney's waters and making it one of the best whale watching destinations in Australia.
From intimate small group cruises departing from Circular Quay and Manly Wharf to full day adventures out to Port Stephens and Jervis Bay, there is a Sydney whale watching experience here for every type of traveller. Watch humpbacks breach and tail slap just metres from the boat, spot playful bottlenose dolphins riding the bow wave, or combine your marine adventure with a visit to Taronga Zoo for the ultimate Sydney wildlife day out. For those wanting to venture further, the Jervis Bay Dolphin Watching Day Trip and the Port Stephens Dolphin Cruise with sandboarding and 4WD offer incredible dolphin encounters just a few hours from the city.
