Each week in the Sydney Whale Watching season we update this sightings page from our official logs. We try and add some actual images that have been taken on these trips.

If you have been on one of our cruises you can submit your photos or video here.

Most importantly, if you have photos showing the whale fluke patterns that identify the whales, we would love you to send them here and be a part of our research effort.

14th Nov: After a longish search we found over 12+ whales off the northen beaches, all breaching and tail slapping, the first pod appearing 40m from the side of the boat !!
