How to watch whales
It made me
IN AWE! 
"One thing you MUST see before you die!"
How I did it: While in Sydney.. I decided to book one of the whale watching cruises that depart from Darling Harbour.
Whale Watching trips commence in Mid May and go until the beginning of December each year. In May, the Humpbacks begin passing by Sydney on their Northern Migration, by early August these whales have moved onto their breeding grounds up north. From July to September the Southern Right whales, Humpbacks and dolphins visiting the coast not to mention the great albatrosses and other winter sea birds you rarely see anywhere else in the world. Mid to late August to the beginning of December sees the return of the Humpback whales on their Southern migration.
Each cruise is approximately 3-4 hours..In less than 20 minutes you exit the heads into whale watching waters. The experienced crew will instruct you on how to spot the whales just like the early whaling boats did for 100s of years then manoeuvre the vessel into our whale watching position, giving you a detailed commentary so you can feel as close to these wondrous ocean dwellers as possible.
Lessons & tips: What to Bring
- Warm clothes - winter on the water can be cold when standing outside viewing the whales.
- Camera - the whales are spontaneous so have your finger ready at any time.
- Sun glasses - even in winter there is a lot of glare off the water.
If for any reason there was no sighting of whales on the day of the cruise, most providers give you a free return ticket to come again on another trip.

What is as graceful as a giant swimming through the water, beautiful, untouched by humans, trusting the Earth to give it all it needs.
