OSPREY is our new vessel in 2023. Departing Circular Quay at the same time as Extreme II, Osprey will head to Rose Bay to pick up passengers while Extreme II heads to Manly. Then the two boats will rendezvous offshore and work together to find the most active and approachable pods. Osprey is a similar size & can travel a similar speed to Extreme II but it has a roof, regular seating and a bit more room to move around.
You’ll be taken on an exciting and unforgettable journey to see the whales in their natural habitat on a giant purpose-built, high speed, whale watching vessel.
Your high-speed whale watching boat transfers from Circular Quay to Rose Bay Wharf to pick you up before turning up the power and blasting towards the open ocean. After punching through the heads and into the Tasman Sea, you’re taken on a high-speed cruise out to see the whales – your skipper is in constant contact with other boat drivers to find the most friendly and approachable whale pods.
*On this vessel all passengers must be at least 6 years old.
Tour departs from the the Rose Bay Wharf located next to the Rose Bay Boat Ramp. Please arrive 15 minutes prior to the time listed on your confirmation and wait for the vessel to arrive. The time on the confirmation is the time the vessel will leave Rose Bay Wharf.
