Who are we?

Whale Watching on EXTREME
Jump onboard Sydney’s most personal and most exciting whale watching experience that has been thrilling locals and tourists for over a decade.
Daily departures from Circular Quay and Manly Wharf from May until November.
Whale sightings are guaranteed*
Whale Watching on OSPREY
NEW in 2023, OSPREY is a similar size and can travel a similar speed to EXTREME II however it does so in slightly more comfort. It has a full canopy for protection from sun and rain, and traditional seating which allows kids as young as 6 years old to attend.
Osprey will depart at the same time as Extreme II and the two vessels will work together to find and watch the most active pods in the area.
Whale sightings are guaranteed*
Custom adventures & Passenger Transfers
During the summer both our vessels are available to hire for events. Think of it like a really fun water taxi.

Boxing Day is hands-down the wildest day on Sydney Harbour.
One of our most popular tours of the year, we depart Manly Wharf, head straight to the start line, then chase the fleet out of the harbour and down the coast.
The boat traffic (and wash) is next level — definitely not for the faint-hearted.
