Jervis Bay Whale Watching Tour

Overview

Witness the majestic beauty of our migrating humpback whales on this 2-hour whale watching cruise from the town of Huskisson on Jervis Bay. You’ll cruise through the sparkling waters and past the white sandy beaches of the Jervis Bay Marin Park in search of these gentle giants of the sea. From May to November whales in increasing numbers can be found along the NSW coast on their annual migration, and during the months of October and November mothers and calves even enter Jervis Bay for a number of days to rest and bond with their young before continuing on the massive journey back to Antarctica.

What To Expect

This tour gives you the rare opportunity to witness the majestic beauty of our migrating Humpback Whales. Imagine setting off on the immaculate Jervis Bay, on a sunny winter’s day, and having these awe inspiring Humpback Whales greet us on their journey. On the Northern migration we sight whales within a mile or so off the dramatic sea cliffs on Jervis Bay’s peninsula. During the Southern migration, we begin to get mothers and their new born calves coming to rest in Jervis Bay. A truly life changing experience set against rugged cliffs and ancient sea caves

One monther, calf and dolphin - expected to see more activity

The crew were fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and full of great information. The boat itself was excellent, and overall, the experience was well-organized. If you’ve never seen a whale before, this tour will absolutely delight you. That said, we were a little disappointed. The day before, we witnessed numerous whales breaching just outside the bay and expected this tour to offer a similar experience, but closer. Instead, we stayed within Jervis Bay, following one mother and calf for just over an hour before following a single dolphin and then heading back. Honestly, if the tour had ventured closer to the bay’s exit or just outside the bay, I believe we would have seen much more whale activity.
Boat great, whales remote

If you have never seen a whale before, you will be pleased with this tour. However, if you are not a "whale virgin", you will be disappointed about how much you see. The boat has to stay so far away from the whales that all views are very distant and hardly worth the effort. On the other hand, the boat is nice (comfortable and stable) and you get to see a good part of the Jervis Bay shoreline (in the distance again).
Pleasant but little commentary about the whales.

Enjoyed trip. Well organised and comfortable. Saw whales but felt we could have been given more information about the humpbacks and their migration. Not very informative.
Excellent

Unforgettable experience with an amazing crew. They were always willing to help those who were seasick and managed to find many whale spots.

not worth the hype of going for a whale watch, you can see one or two whale splashing here and there. Taking your camera to take a photo is just a dream, as the boat would be shaking with waves & fish would be gone down before you snap it. Better go for a dolphin ride or something
Amazing
