Have you ever seen these majestic creatures up close and personal? During winter and spring Whales can be spotted regularly in and around Sydney Harbour.

Every year, between Late May until late November, about 8,000 whales migrate along the Australian coastline to their feeding and breeding grounds.

Sydney is in a very fortunate position to see the whales on both the Winter migration northwards (Late May until August) and the Spring Migration southwards (September until November).

As a part of their migratory path, many Humpbacks and Southern Right Whales swim very close to the coastline around Sydney. Remember the exciting scenes in 2002 when whales could be seen swimming under the Harbour Bridge and up to Balls Head on the inner harbour.

Over the past five years, Sydney has had many whales swim into the Harbour and stay for up to two weeks.

To ensure these wonderful creatures and their environment are protected our company practices responsible whale watching, understanding that we need to minimise distubance to the whales and follow the National Parks & Wildlife Guidelines

In Both Winter and Spring, we have been lucky to have witnessed a number of awe-inspiring, amazing events where the Whales have been particularly active. Most people take something special out of seeing their first Whale up close and personal, I think it just seems to put everything back into perspective.

Reference :

Sydney CBD and Suburbs
Sydney's CBD stretches from Sydney Cove, in the north, to Central Railway Station in the south. The best way to explore the city is on foot and by public transport. Try to avoid taking a car into the city; not only is there a lot of traffic, but parking is scarce and what is available in the city's car parks is expensive.
