Fantasea Cruising

With the latest in vessel design and good old-fashioned authentic Australian experience, we welcome
(121)

Fantasea Cruising delivers Australia’s most personalised experiences on the water. With the flexibility to cater for 2 to 1200 people, we offer charters in a range of vessel sizes from 16 seater water taxis to large vessels across a range of locations. Our fleet on Sydney Harbour operates evening cruises, special event cruises like Vivid & New Year’s Eve and daily whale watching cruises. Our whale

watching cruises are unique to Sydney with a marine biologist on every departure and a hydrophone to hear the whale song underwater. Our fleet of water taxis not only offer point to point services to move people around Sydney with not a traffic light in sight, the sunset cruises and our exclusive picnic on Sydney Harbour are experiences not to be missed. On Pittwater, north of Sydney, we operate ferry services between Ettalong, Wagstaffe and Palm Beach. We also operate whale watching from Palm Beach during season. In Townsville, we operate a car barge and ferry experience to the beautiful Magnetic Island. Whatever your itinerary may be, our experiences can be tailored to your requirements. We will depart when you want, where you want and for however long you like. With Fantasea Cruising you build the cruise experience around your itinerary not the itinerary around the Cruise. Established in 1928 with over 30 years of experience in tourism, we aspire to uphold the values of our family business.

We were lucky with yet another Humpback sighting on our afternoon cruise, and we were joined by a playful pod of Dolphins on the way 🐬

Over the next few weeks the activity will be getting more and more exciting as the northern migration gets into full swing. So come and join us on the ocean and see for yourself.

With our sightings today, it’s a good sign that the numbers are increasing and we hope for an even busier time next week!

The weather looks like it is going to hold us back over the weekend, but as soon as the conditions improve we’ll be out there! So be sure to keep an eye out for us and we’ll do our best to find the whales for you 🐋

17/05/2024

We have lift off!!!

What an incredible show we were treated to this morning from this juvenile Humpback!!

Tail slaps galore, perfect conditions, and our first breach of the season!

Who’s excited for more this season?

15/05/2024

Wow!!

After a slow start to the season, with poor weather, our afternoon Express Cruise was treated today with a close visit from this inquisitive humpback!

We can’t wait for what this season will have to offer!

Tomorrow on the 25th of April for ANZAC DAY, our services will be running as per normal. https://www.fantasea.com.au/
On ANZAC Day remember to honor the brave men and women who have served and continue to serve our nation with unwavering courage and dedication. This day holds a special place in our hearts, reminding us of the sacrifices made by those who have fought for the freedoms we cherish.

We should not only honor the past but uphold the values of courage, mate ship, and sacrifice that define the ANZAC spirit. Let us remember those who have served, those who have fallen, and those who continue to serve, with profound respect and gratitude.

Lest we forget.
