Captain Cook Cruises Whale Watching tours operate on family-friendly catamarans, with indoor and outdoor seating over multiple levels. Passenger numbers are strictly limited to ensure everyone has great views of all the action while the onboard Marine Naturalist provides expert commentary and insights into the whale behaviour. We have over 95% whale sighting success rate, but in the unlikely event we don’t spot whales, your whale guarantee ensures you can cruise again for free.

Taronga Zoo is one of Sydney’s must-visit attractions, set on the northern shores of Sydney Harbour and home to more than 400 animal species across expansive natural habitats. Easily reached by ferry from the CBD, the journey offers scenic views of the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge before arriving at the zoo’s stunning harbourside setting. Visitors can encounter iconic Australian wildlife alongside animals from Africa and Asia, while enjoying popular daily presentations such as the Seals for the Wild and Free-Flight Bird shows. Combining wildlife conservation, immersive exhibits and spectacular harbour views, Taronga Zoo offers an unforgettable experience for visitors of all ages.
