Bucket List Last term we had a group of thrill seekers climb the Harbour Bridge. This term we are going to dial our Bucket List back a little. We are going to go out of the Sydney heads to watch some Whales. We will be cruising with Sydney s Premier Whale Watching Cruise. After leaving the wharf, we waste little time in the harbour thanks to the state of the art, high speed vessel Ocean Dreaming 2 and spend most of the 3hr cruise watching whales. Once offshore we try to locate the best whales to watch, which we may already know about before leaving the harbour thanks to shore based spotters and communication with other whale watching vessels. So that we will find the most active and entertaining whales for you and we may even change pods during the cruise, should more active whales be spotted elsewhere.
