🐋🌊 Experience Whale Watching... the Ocean Extreme Way! 🌊🐋

Forget everything you know about typical whale watching. This isn't a slow cruise from a distance; this is an adventure! Join Arc Goes To aboard Ocean Extreme's high-speed OSPREY vessel for an unforgettable experience out on the open ocean.

After departing from Circular Quay, you'll cruise to Rose Bay before the OSPREY powers through Sydney Heads and into the Tasman Sea. Guided by an experienced skipper who is in constant communication with other vessels, we'll head straight to the most active and approachable whale pods, giving you the best chance to witness these incredible giants up close in their natural habitat. 🐋💙

With its purpose-built design and high-speed capability, the OSPREY gets you out to the whales faster and offers an exhilarating ride that you won't get on a traditional whale watching cruise. Whether it's your first whale watching experience or your tenth, this is one you'll never forget.

This experience is valued at $149 per person, but thanks to Arc Goes To, UNSW students can join for just $10! (Excluding Humanitix fees.)
