Sydney Whale Watching Cruise with BBQ Lunch

Highlights

  • Premium 4 hour Whale Watching Cruise

  • Delicious BBQ buffet lunch on board

  • Great photo opportunities

  • Expert commentary

  • Full Sydney Harbour tour included

  • Whale sightings guarantee

Join one of Sydney's most popular whale watching companies for a combined tour and BBQ lunch package that will allow you to see the whales off Sydney Heads and enjoy a great meal all in one. Depart from the Eastern Pontoon Circular Quay, Sydney, head out for four hours total of whale watching cruising to see these gentle ocean giants up close; marvel as they breach and play just metres in front of the comfortable, purpose-built whale watching vessel.

Be sure to bring your camera as the whales can be quite a bunch of showoffs - you'll no doubt come away with some incredible pictures of the whales enjoying themselves. During the whale watching tour, you'll get to feast on a tasty buffet-style BBQ lunch to help fill your stomach and recharge your batteries for the rest of the cruise. Plus, there's even a whale-sighting guarantee - if you don't see whales on your cruise you're entitled to another cruise in the same whale watching season entirely free. If you want to see whales without having to travel far from Sydney, this tour is the option you're looking for.
