Departing from Darling Harbour, jump on board our 2.5-hour Discovery Cruise on Fantasea Avalon.

Whale Watching Sydney’s 2.5hour Discovery Cruise is designed to give you the best value cruise for your money, combining speed, comfort, and breath-taking views of humpback whales (and other sea creatures) in their natural habitat.

Departing from Darling Harbour, you’ll reach the open ocean in just 25 minutes to explore on Fantasea Avalon. Watch whales in comfort from the seated sun deck, covered rear deck or climate-controlled cabin.

Our expert crew and on board guides will get you in the best spots to see whales, as well as commentate on their behaviour and give you insights and facts about these amazing creatures.

Why choose our Discovery Cruise?

  • Convenient Location: Depart from Darling Harbour Aquarium Wharf, close to many attractions and sites once you hop off our cruise.
  • Guaranteed Sightings: With our expert crew, we boast a high success rate in spotting whales. If you don’t see whales, you’ll cruise again free!
  • Eco-Friendly Approach: We are committed to sustainable tourism, ensuring minimal impact on marine life. We strictly adhere to guidelines and laws that ensure we maintain a safe and respectful distance.
  • Safe and Comfortable: Our vessels are designed for smooth sailing, providing both safety and comfort for all passengers.

Vessel Features

Fantasea Avalon is a 24-metre, high-speed catamaran – perfect for whale watching. Watch whales in comfort from the seated sun deck, covered rear deck or climate-controlled cabin.

What to Bring?

  • A windbreaker or jacket to keep dry from ocean spray
  • Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat for sun protection
  • A camera or phone to capture stunning moments (if you miss anything, our on board photographers will have photos to purchase after your cruise)
  • To best avoid sea sickness, we recommend eating lightly before your cruise. The use of motion sickness tablets is most effective when taken before boarding
