Awesome
Loved the experience. The crew was amazing and very accommodating. The ride was rough but very exciting. Lucky to see a whale fin waving multiple times while following it. It seemed to wave goodbye with its tail a few times as we were leaving. The rough water made it one of the most scary but most exhilarating experience of my life. Sea sickness is real as my child lost the day to this so motion meds is a must for some people. But all in all a whole lot of fun. I would go again myself just for the crazy ride. Hold on haha. If you happen to follow a whale it will blow your mind. As the driver says, he can't control the whales but will follow a whale for as long as he can before the trip has to end.

Choose your day wisely
The vessel and staff were great, but they need to be a bit more descriptive when telling us before we get on there's a 2.5m swell. To the uninitiated, they don't know this means you'll be chucking your guts up and be wishing you were any where but on that vessel for the next 2 hours. It's no exaggeration when I say at least 60-70% of the people on board were sea sick. I'm an old sea dog, so I was ok, but the missus and kids where down as soon as we got past the heads. We were one of the bigger boats out there, so I'd hate to imagine what the people on the smaller boats had to deal with. Check swell conditions before booking. Iv attached a photo of the carnage below, can you spot the 6 people down and out?

Pretty nice experience
I did the Cruise during my 3 days in Sydney, unfortunately we didn't see any whales. There were big waves and therefore the cruise wasn't really peaceful even though the crew was very nice and tried to make everything they can to make us feel OK. At the end they told us that since we didn't see whales we could come back another time for free but in my situation I couldn't. I asked if I could get a refund but I have been told that the only thing possible was to come back another time. I know it's nature and you never know if the whales will show up or not but even if the crew was really nice I would have hope at least part of a refund and that's what left me a bit disappointed.

Fantastic Experience
Saw over 50 breaches, the whales were very playful on the day and were quite close to the boat
