Choose Jervis Bay & Dolphin Explorer Cruises
For Your Whale Watching Experience
Jervis Bay on the NSW South Coast is one
of the few pristine coastal areas left in NSW. The picturesque
bay and its environs form the Jervis Bay Marine Park. The protected
bay and its surrounds are diverse in marine and birdlife and it
has some of the most amazing and spectacular scenery along the
Australian coastline. It's breathtaking beauty, and its rich cultural
and natural significance have long been recognized and appreciated
by locals and visitors alike.
Unique to this area are the resident
pods of Bottlenose dolphins that can be found in the bay all year
round. Seasonally we witness the migration of the majestic Humpback
whales along the East Coast, this occurs from June to mid November.
Our expertise and local knowledge will ensure your close encounter
with these playful creatures will be an experience to remember
Our whale-sighting success rate for 2007 season
was the most succesful at Jervis Bay 96%, as we cruise only when
our experience leads us to believe whales will be sighted.
This year we have extended the whale watching
to a 3.5 hour cruise so you can spend more time with the whales
