Whale Watching 🐋 in Sydney [One Time Event]

We’re heading to Sydney to catch a close-up view of the majestic humpback whales — right from a ferry! While we’ve spotted whales before in Warrnambool, the ferry tours in Sydney offer a far more immersive experience. Plus, we’re taking a tour that gives us a second chance for free if we don’t see any whales the first time. We will do whale watching on Saturday. And keep Sunday as buffer if we don't get to see whales on Saturday. We will do others things on Sunday if we manage to see Whales on Saturday.

Every year, over 20,000 humpback whales travel an epic 3,500 km from Antarctica’s icy waters to the warm tropics of the Great Barrier Reef, and Sydney happens to be one of the top spots in Australia to witness this migration.

Please follow these 5 steps to confirm your spot:

Step 1: Please RSVP this event on meetup.

Step 2: Please book your ferry ticket for Sat, 16th Aug ($79 - their limited time sale. Usually $99).
