What you can expect

Get the best of land and sea with this incredible Sydney combo experience. Your day begins with a two-hour and 30-minute morning whale watching cruise, where you'll venture into open waters, looking for migrating Humpback and Southern Right Whales. With expert commentary onboard, you'll gain fascinating insights into whale behaviour while enjoying views of Sydney's coastline. Thanks to support from land-based spotters, whale sightings are virtually guaranteed, and if no whales are spotted, you can cruise again free of charge during the season.

After your cruise arrives at Taronga Zoo wharf, hop off and explore this iconic zoo with native animals like koalas, kangaroos, and wombats, as well as other exotic species. Enjoy daily bird and seal shows before returning on the rocket ferry to Circular Quay for a seamless and unforgettable wildlife-filled day.
