Booked my Taronga Zoo tickets with return ferry via Fantasea Cruising and it was such a smooth experience! I travelled solo and the ticket redemption was super easy. Ferry arrived right on time. Loved how convenient it was to get to the zoo by ferry while taking in the harbour views. I only had about 3 hours to explore because I had another activity after, but it was definitely worth it. Plenty of food and drink options inside, and the zoo has animals we don’t have back home so I really enjoyed every bit of it. Highly recommend going in the morning for the shows (like the sea lion one) and to see the animals more active. Plus, you’ll get an amazing view of the Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House from the zoo! 🦁🦘⛴️

I have been on several whale watching tours. This time, I booked Fantasea's 2.5 hour adventure whale watching cruise off Sydney in Fantasea's fast zodiac style boat. There were some 25 persons on board in the compact vessel which got to the open ocean quickly. Water sprays hit most of us and by the time we started looking for whales, we were mostly drenched. Luckily camera gear was inside the bag, and escaped getting wet. Advisable to wear hooded raincoat to minimise spray effects. The company should advise customers. When stationary, I found this small vessel tended to be tossed about more than the larger boats. I got seasick as a consequence. A number of others were seasick well before me. On the plus side, we managed to see a number of whales, some up close, especially after the other boats left. But taking photos with the vessel tossing about was a tricky task. Next time I will take the large catamaran - so no drenching and easier photography.
