Traverse through crystal-clear waters and alongside the pristine beaches of the Jervis Bay Marin Park, in pursuit of these marine behemoths. From May through November, these whales can be seen in rising numbers along the NSW coast, as part of their annual migratory treks.

Whales in two hours! - Out and back in two hours! The boat was fast and stable amazing how quick we were outside Jervis bay and on the"whale highway". Skipper and crew were clear with the few instructions, and knowledgeable. Yes we saw whales breaching and slapping as they migrated. A fantastic experience done in two hours.

Enjoyable Whale Watching - Well managed cruise with very reliable vessel . Friendly onboard staff , managed to do extra activities of bay watch following sighting of whales , spectacular watching . Suggestion - should make compulsory to wear safety jackets rather waiting for unlikely catastrophic event .

Fantastic experience - What a fantastic experience this was our first Whale watching cruise and it did not disappoint. The crew and captain were excellent, our family who were visiting from Adelaide loved every minute of it. Watching the whale be playful and learning about what they do topped off the day.
