When is Whale Watching Season in Sydney? 

Whale-watching season in Sydney typically begins at the end of autumn in May, through to July and then again from September until the end of October. Spot humpback whales as they pass along Sydney Harbour on their way south to feed. In addition, despite not migrating, you may also spot Southern Right whales as they move along the coastline of New South Wales. Sydneysiders can regularly spy whales passing through the Harbour and surrounding coastline during this period, so if you’re looking to catch a glimpse of one of these majestic creatures, plan your trip for the middle of the year!

Book a whale watching tour that takes off from Circular Quay and combine a spot of city sightseeing with whale watching! There is a range of Hosts and vessel types on offer, but they all offer a fabulous and exhilarating adventure with lots of whale spotting to be had.
