About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- mommaphotographer0 contributionsMom and calf!This was an incredible tour. The seas were rough and we were offered another day, but we went and it was simply amazing. We went out and ending up spending time watching a mom and calf show off their tails as well as a couple of breeches! The crew was very friendly and knowledgeable, too! Highly recommend!Written 13 September 2024
- S3495BLcarlam0 contributionsIncredible Experience!!!I went on the 11am trip today with Ocean Extreme and it was the best experience I’ve had in Australia so far. All of the staff were so kind and attentive and very knowledgeable throughout the tour. The enthusiasm from the staff really made the experience, as you can see how passionate they are about ensuring you get the best from the tour! We seen whales breaching, spy hopping and mugging. All of which were incredibly close to the boat. Couldn’t recommend this tour enough, I will 100% be booking again!Written 10 September 2024
- MM2_Scott0 contributionsWorth it!It was great to be out on the water and we saw a lot of whales! Six in fact. Our boat driver and guide was very helpful and did a nice job. Did not get wet, the provided wind breaker was comfortable and helpful. Consider sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat.Written 28 August 2024
- alisonbS6512YH0 contributionsHighly recommendedWhat a great morning - a fun speed boat ride and a short time after we got out of the harbour, there were whales either side. The captain shared lots of information too. The length of the trip was just right - highly recommended.Written 23 August 2024
- katierF6059DU0 contributionsOnce in a lifetime experience10/10 experience. Once in a lifetime! . Sean and Martin were amazing! Great hosts, think they were the lucky charm as a whale came out to play! Went as a birthday treat and it was incredible! Was so close to the whales and got amazing photos! Would so recommend!Written 15 August 2024
- elsapL6783ZV0 contributionsBest birthday giftSuch a must have to do in Sydney 🐳 We spend a magic morning with my boyfriend. Thank you to the crew, they even gave us extra time to watch whales ✨ I really recommend to choose them ✨Written 7 August 2024
- megan g0 contributionsBest in the businessBest in the business! Always an amazing time with Blake and the crew. Gone on multiple trips on mult boats. Always great. Highly recommend the smaller boats for adventurous people wanting to get closer to the water.Written 3 August 2024
- chrismB483II0 contributionsWhale watchingAfter having this experience cancelled twice in two years due to inclement weather, we had our fingers crossed for the day to go ahead. A knowledgeable and experienced skipper guided us through the Sydney Heads from Manly and out into the Tasman Sea. We tracked two whales travelling north in search of warmer waters. Managed to get in close to take photos but my photos don’t do these amazing creatures justice. Thankfully, Ocean Extreme sent me photos taken by the skipper who had a long-lensed camera. An awesome day on the ocean - highly recommended.Written 20 July 2024
- Shahrin M0 contributionsAmazing Whale Watching ExperienceWe had a fantastic experience with Ocean Extreme. The tide conditions and weather were perfect. Early into the trip, we spotted some whales thanks to our capable and eagle-eyed pilot. He was quick to maneuver the boat close to the whales and made sure everyone had equal opportunities to view them by rotating the boat. The provided waterproof jackets were of good quality and thick, ensuring we stayed dry. There’s also space to stow your bags. Additionally, Blake is a great photographer who can capture excellent shots if you miss any moments, and he is very knowledgeable about the whales. Highly recommend this trip!”Written 6 July 2024
- Culture561836211560 contributionsThe BEST! No need to look at other tours groupsThis is the best whale watching tour in the area. These guys balance their whale finding experience and communication with respect for the whales. They provide warm, waterproof coats and a safe place to store your purse. Then on top of all that, they take phenomenal photos that they share with you, free of cost. This is my second time doing this tour. My first time was in 2019. When I planned to visit Sydney again, Ocean Extreme Whale Watching was at the top of my "to do" things. I didn't bother looking at other tours, as I knew this one is the best. I recommend Ocean Extreme to everyone coming to Sydney!Written 12 June 2024
- amyp246800 contributionsThe best morning ever!Ocean Extreme were amazing, we had the best morning ever seeing humpback whales at the beginning of their migration. The team were really knowledgeable and friendly and the boat ride was really fun! We saw quite a few whales and it's only week 1 of the migration, we were super lucky and absolutely thrilled! Thank you so much for an unforgettable experience! 😁Written 27 May 2024
- 15johannat0 contributionsAmazing Sydney Whale Watch - Wonderful Crew - Unique and Fun Boat, perfectly apt for best views and repositioningThis whale watch was definitely a high point in our trip to Sydney. Captain Blake took us out on his amazing boat. It was fast, low and open, perfect for the search for whales, seals, and gorgeous scenery. Blake and his co-captain were wonderful. Very friendly and knowledgeable. In addition to seeing so much, we learned a lot as well, about the wild life, Sydney/AUS history, and the ocean. Amazing! On our list for future visits, should we return to AUS.Written 24 May 2024
- dawnredstone0 contributionsIncredible trip of a lifetime whale watching at its finest!My daughter kindly arranged this whale watching experience whilst I was visiting Sydney. From start to finish this was one of the most memorable experiences I have ever done. The skipper was excellent very knowledgeable and we felt totally safe under his captaincy. The boat was roomy and comfortable. We headed out of Sydney harbour and the views were impressive. Once out in the seas it was thrilling waiting to see the incredible Humpbacks and boy did we see them absolutely amazing site to see them breach high up in the air and splash down so close to us. We got some fabulous photos of the trip. I would highly recommend this company. Thank you so much Dawn & Jasmine xWritten 10 December 2023
- christV7151JB0 contributionsOutstanding whale watching trip from ManlyFriday'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.Written 22 October 2023
- Keirein0 contributionsThe best onesBrilliant! Magnificent! Awesome! Words is not enough to describe the experience of whale watching with Ocean Extreme. We saw several humpback whale cubs and adult whales. They did everything whales do on Discovery Channel or National Geographic shows: jumping out of the water, beating their tails, water spraying, even singing. Boat is fast and comfortable, crew is very friendly and professional, group is small so there’s no need to jostle to get perfect views. Trip took about two hours, that was enough. Can absolutely recommend Ocean Extreme for whale watching in Sydney👍Written 13 October 2023

We had an absolute blast on the high speed thrill ride! Blake was our guide and he was great. The swells were big the day we went and Blake was sure to mention this, noting that we could change our plans if we wanted. The ride was going to be a rough one, he advised. But we went for it and have zero regrets! Highly recommend this tour if you want an adrenaline rush and an experience you’ll never forget!

Everything was incredible from booking to the trip finishing. Love to see a business utilise technology well! No paperwork, check in on iPad. Blake was great at explaining procedures and it was a heap of fun! Must do if visiting Sydney! This will bring out your inner child - will do again! (and I'm a local)

Our jet boat captain, Blake, gave us an unforgettable experience combining speed, beauty of nature and interesting information on our recent trip to Bondi Beach from Sydney Harbour. Highly recommendable.

Really fun and safe tour of the Harbour. Even on this relatively calm sea day, managed to get a few spills and thrills in. Highly recommended and highly awesome!

This was an extraordinary & fun way to spend an afternoon on the harbour - well organised, safe and an adrenaline pumping ride in the high speed inflatable - you get a little wet but that's expected when you fly through the harbour and around to Bondi at a rate of knots, highlighted by the incredible up close views of the outside cliffs & escarpments & caves, seal colony and different views of Bondi & Bronte beaches. Thanks Blake, had a ball..!

The ride was absolutely awesome, the sea was rough with the swell but the ride is even better in these conditions, the distance between waves was big enough and we were flying. Worth every cent.
