Was an amazing morning on the water, only got a few glimpses of the whales, but the boat trip itself was great, a fair few people being sick which were being looked after really well, the crew were extremely helpful & deserve more money🤣 thanks so much for a great experience.

Glide through Jervis Bay's turquoise waters twice daily, watching 40-ton Humpback and Southern Right whales breach just meters from your vessel during their May-November migration.

Experience whale behavior from multiple vantage points—feel the spray as they breach above water, then watch their graceful underwater movements through viewing windows and live camera feeds.

Sail past the powder-white sands of Hyams Beach, beneath the towering 90-meter cliffs of Point Perpendicular, and alongside the dramatic rock formations of Booderee's "Hole in the Wall."

Gain insider knowledge from marine experts who'll identify different whale behaviors, explain migration patterns, and answer all your burning questions about these magnificent creatures.

No whale sightings? Your adventure continues with a complimentary re-cruise voucher, giving you another chance to experience these majestic marine mammals.

The boat was giving clear 360 degrees views from any of the 3 levels. Punctual shore departure and return. Friendly crew. The whale views where fantastic and I will definitely revisit the place with the same boat.

The careful consideration of the captain and his team. It was very rough but we still managed to see whales.
