Itinerary
Board your morning Whale Watching Cruise Circular Quay and experience an amazing animal adventure. Go in search of the migrating whales that turn the Pacific Ocean waters near Sydney into a prime viewing spot for southern right and humpback whales between the months of May and November.
Cruise aboard a great vessel and benefit from full commentary and guaranteed whale sightings. As many as 15,000 whales swim past Sydney every year. Encounter whale activity, including the famous whale breaches when they jump high out of the water. You may even get a close-up wink from a whale when they are feeling extra curious! Get the chance to see southern rights, orcas and minke whales in their natural environment, along with playful dolphins, seals, fairy penguins, albatross and more.
Disembark at Sydney's iconic Taronga Zoo to explore at your leisure. Visit themed areas including Wild Australia, Wild Asia and the Great Southern Oceans. Hear talks by the zoo keepers and go to interactive shows, such as the free bird show and free seal show. See native Australian animals, including koala and platypus, along with creatures from around the world such as Asian elephants, lions and giraffes.
In the afternoon join your Rocket Ferry for a return trip back to Circular Quay.
