Bring out the inner pirate in you on the Tall Ships Pirate Cruise Experience on Sydney Harbour. Choose between a dining cruise or an adrenaline-pumping cruise ideal for watching whales in Sydney.
Pirate vessels were fast tall ships that swiftly cut through the waters. For the pirate cruise, your vessel for the day is an 1850s-style tall ship, in the similar lines of pirate ships of yore. Come dressed in your pirate-finest for the adventure of your lifetime. Raise the sails with the crew and watch the wind fill the sails and the vessel noiselessly move forward.
Tallship Whale watching cruise
Book this unique whale watching cruise in Sydney on board the authentic tall ship Coral Trekker. Aided mostly by wind, this eco-friendly cruise does little harm to the whales and also lets you get you closer to all the action. Included mast climb makes this whale-watching cruise great value for money!
Catch the elusive Humpback and Southern Right whales in action from the comfort of this timber sailing vessel! Another special treat on this cruise is the Mast Climb, an experience truly unique to a tall ship! There are safety harnesses to help you ascend and descend without much trouble at all.
The whale migration season is the best time to catch these magnificent ocean creatures at their playful best. Come winter, the whales migrate to warmer waters up north, where they breed and return to their home turf with their calves in tow. If you’re lucky, you’ll see some amazing tail slaps, peduncle throws and perhaps the almighty breach!
Spectacular cruise & Island tour
Join the crew on a unique sightseeing lunch cruise on Sydney Harbour topped off by a guided walking tour taking you through the convict past of Goat Island. Your vessel for the day is a historic tall ship made out of wood. On this three-hour cruise, visit Goat Island and learn about the convict history on a guided tour. Later enjoy a delicious 3-course lunch with salads besides the Harbour. Call it a day by taking in the spectacular Sydney Harbour views with a glass of champagne in hand!
Goat Island is the first destination for the day. Better known as Port Jackson, the island is rife with convict history and was storage and arsenal for the military. It was later a convict holding post and also became a quarry. An expert guide will take you through the island. After the island exploration, you must be quite hungry, so a freshly-prepared 3-course lunch with a selection of salads welcomes you as you board the vessel!
Later explore the all-timber historic sailing vessel with a glass of champagne in hand.
