Excellent commentator on the boat.
A great experience watching whales hopping low and giving tail wave. Went to Taronga Zoo with sleeping animals during lunchtime.
Guide for the whale watching was very knowledgeable, views from the boat was great. We saw 2 humpback whales on this 2 hour ride. Only thing to note is that the sea is very rough once you leave Sydney Harbour. It is not for people who are prone to seasickness. Many onboard the boat got sick and were throwing up in the sickness bags they provided. Tickets to the Taronga Zoo were easy to use and I liked the flexibility of the return ferry ride. Zoo has many interesting animals.
