Did you know that one of the best times to see whales is during the winter months? From June 1 until October 31, you can take a morning, afternoon or sunset cruise from Cronulla Public Wharf out into the ocean to spot whales. This season, there will be an estimated 30,000 to 40,000 whales passing through Cronulla, so you’re pretty much guaranteed to spot a whale. In fact, Cronulla Whale Watching promises that if you don’t see a whale, you can come back for free. Book your whale watching adventure here.
