This morning aboard MV Osprey, our guests enjoyed a memorable day along the Humpback Highway.

Around five miles east of the island, we first sighted a pair of Humpback Whales travelling south. A little later, a different pair came in much closer to the vessel, giving everyone a great view as they cruised steadily by.

We also encountered a small pod of dolphins, adding an extra highlight to the trip with their lively presence.

With calm seas, clear skies, and a mix of whales and dolphins, it was a fantastic morning out on the water.

We look forward to welcoming you aboard soon to experience the wildlife of Port Stephens.
