*Join us during Whale Watching season as we marvel at these incredible creatures frolicking and swimming in the tranquil waters of the Pacific Ocean.*
Whale watching off Sydney Heads is an exhilarating adventure, an awe inspiring treat that you will remember forever! The southern hemisphere humpback migration is estimated to be approx.. 40-500,000 whales this year, with an average increase of 11% per year, quite amazing considering these magnificent creatures were nearly hunted to the point of extinction 40 years ago.
