Whale Sightings

What a great start to the School Holidays.

Our morning cruisers had a fun filled adventure with incredible marine encounters from start to finish!

We spent time with a Humpback mother and her calf off Boondelbah Island, both enjoying the swell as they continue their southern migration. The little one delighted passengers with playful energy while staying close to mum.

On the bow of the boat, an energetic pod of Common Dolphins joined us, riding the waves and keeping pace with the vessel to the delight of everyone onboard.

To top it off, our journey included Cabbage Tree Island, where the ever-amazing fur seals were on full display – lazing on the rocks, splashing about, and showing off for their audience.

It was truly a morning that reminded us why Port Stephens is one of the best places in the world to experience nature at its finest.

Our afternoon cruisers were treated to one of those incredible moments where you didn’t know where to look first! The ocean came alive with groups of Humpback Whales surfacing all around. Passengers were treated to a spectacular show of breaching, powerful head lunges, and dramatic fin and tail slaps happening in every direction. It was truly a feast for the eyes and an afternoon to remember on the Port Stephens Humpback Highway.
