Adventure Whale
Watching Sydney

The current conflict in the Middle East has resulted in a sharp increase in the price of fuel. To offset these unexpected costs, an additional temporary fuel levy of $2 per passenger will be applied to any new bookings for cruises operating from 1 April 2026 to 31 December 2026 (inclusive).

Given current volatility, this levy will be reviewed every two weeks and adjusted as required to reflect actual cost movements. Our intention is to keep this charge as low as possible and only in place while fuel prices remain at elevated levels. Once prices return to more typical levels, this incremental fuel levy will be removed. Prices mentioned on this page are inclusive of the temporary fuel levy.

What To Bring

• A windbreaker or jacket to protect against ocean spray
• Sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat for sun protection
• A camera or phone to capture whale sightings and spectacular Sydney coastline views
• Motion sickness medication if you’re prone to seasickness

To help avoid seasickness, we recommend eating lightly before departure and taking any motion sickness medication before boarding.

Totally Wild is purpose-built for offshore adventure and whale watching. Capable of reaching speeds of up to 60km/h, the vessel is designed to deliver an exciting ride while providing exceptional whale viewing opportunities.

Its smaller size and low-profile design create a more immersive experience, bringing guests closer to the ocean and the incredible marine wildlife found off Sydney’s coastline.

With a maximum capacity of just 25 passengers, Totally Wild offers a far more intimate whale watching experience than larger vessels.

Our Whale Guarentee

We successfully sight whales on approximately 99% of our cruises. In the unlikely event that no whales are successfully sighted during your cruise, you’ll receive a free return whale watching cruise to use during the current season.
