This was an absolute fun way to go whale-watching - so much adrenaline with the excitement of the speedboat, and anticipation of whale-watching.

Friday's whale-watching trip with Ocean Extreme was the BEST and most exciting whale watching excursion I have ever done. We must have seen >50 whale breaches. Being at water-level in the zodiac boat made it more spectacular We were able to manouvre very quickly to where the whales were. As soon as I finished i thought about other family and friends that I can buy this trip for as a present. Can't wait to go again ! The guide was excellent.

Very memorable and exciting adventure with lots of beautiful whale sightings. The staff was very attentive to us and every passenger was taken care of while watching. All in all it was a great trip! By the way, remember to take seasickness pills in advance if you get seasick!

I went to Sydney for the marathon. Booked this whale watching trip. The guy is an expert, he knows where to spot the humpback. Totally recommend going on a speed boat! Btw, try to be at the dock early, so you get to sit on the left.

Fantastic experience, we saw a mother and calf humpback at close quarters and the calf even treated us to a breach. Many thanks to Martin and Shaun who work hard to find these wonderful creatures. Mike and Julie Swansea, Wales.

Absolutely brilliant! We were lucky enough to see a couple of whales that were pec and tail slapping. Blake is a great host and we can highly recommend this trip! Many thanks for a memorable experience on our 25th Wedding Anniversary 🥰

The ride was exhilarating! We searched the sea for telltale blows! There they were 3 then another 3! Double-breach, breaches, pec waves, fluking, blows and the MUGGINGS! Thrilling! The sound of the Humpback blowing! Only 6feet away & as we were on Extreme II even closer! We saw pods of Dolphins, riding our wake, jumping! Also, some Minkie Whales....I'm planning ANOTHER trip it was so BRILLIANT, Impressive & Amazing!

Blake was an terrific tour guide! In spite of his efforts, we hadn’t found any whales for the first 1.5 hours. Though our group enjoyed the amazing harbor views and watching the dolphins play in the wake, he was clearly disappointed when we had to head back without seeing any whales. He was professional and courteous and had just begun to explain the guaranteed whale sighting rebooking procedures when whales were spotted straight ahead. We sped off and were rewarded with a magical experience of multiple breaches (including a double breach!), lots of surface activity, and curious whales that swam past our boat! Thank you, Blake!!!
