Manly Ocean Adventures

"What a great experience. Blake was fun, knowledgeable and gracious. With Blakes expertise, we managed to locate an observe a beautiful Humpback wall that breached, (broke the surface of the water), 3 times. I'm attaching a shot or two. A simple email request to Blake yielded much better pics than the ones I'm attaching. Huge fun!"

"My wife booked the family on a whale watching trip to get the school holidays underway. I've experienced a couple of such things in my time; California and Port Macquarie - my hopes were not overly high... but boy was I wrong to be doubtful! The coolest boat in Sydney harbour amiably captained by Blake shot us out between the heads and off to track down migrating hump-back whales. The boat ride itself was great fun, but to almost instantly track down two of the ocean's graceful inhabitants was fantastic. Cameras fizzed into life as these two giants put on a winter show for us all; breaching, tail slapping and all just a few metres from our boat. An hour whizzed by as we were able to drift alongside these incredible animals before we had to jet off for home - but wait, there was more. Our knowledgeable Captain headed straight to shore and our watery experience was further enhanced by an encounter with a playful pod of dolphins, who simply wanted to place chase with our boat. If you're going to go Whale Watching this season, be sure to put Manly Ocean Adventures at the top of your list - you won't regret it!"

"We had a great day out with Blake from Manly Ocean Adventures, the whole family enjoyed the experience and we saw plenty of whales! The boat ride itself is worth the trip. Highly recommended."

"We had an exhilarating ride out and back skimming the waves, an experience in itself, helpfully provided with extra coats to keep out the wind. Blake was a knowledgeable skipper, taking us straight out to a couple of humpbacks whom we were able to watch for a good half hour or so with interesting facts being passed on and Blake was prepared to stay out with the whales for a bit over schedule while the whales hung around. We had a fantastic trip, great value, thoroughly recommended."
