Winter is prime whale watching time in Manly and what better way to witness these gentle giants of the sea than on the ocean itself? Manly Boat & Kayak allows you to experience the whales up close and personal. Climb aboard one of their specialist vessels and cruise past the 300ft cliffs of Sydney Heads into the Pacific waters where Humpback and Southern Right Whales frolic with their calves and pods. Alternatively, savour the tranquility of Manly's secluded beaches and coves via single, double or triple kayak, paddling the pristine shoreline and turquoise waters of North Harbour as Manly's indigenous forebears did many thousands of years before.
