Overview

Highlights

  • Sail with Humpback Whales out of Port Stephens
  • Visit Southern Fur Seals and spot dolphins
  • Enjoy some of the most scenic landscapes

Head offshore to witness the magnificent Humpbacks as they swim and play amongst the islands of the Port Stephens Great Lakes Marine Park. Keep your eyes peeled for dolphins, flocks of oceanic sea birds and the colony of Southern Fur Seals that often laze on the rocks at Cabbage Tree Island!

What's Included?

  • 3 - 3.5 hour whale watching cruise
  • Whale sighting guarantee (free return voucher if no whales are sighted)
  • Informative and engaging commentary
  • Tea, coffee and biscuits
  • Use of wet weather jacket if required

'Imagine' is a 54ft catamaran. Conditions permitting, the sails will be hoisted and you will be off to sail with the whales. It's so quiet you can hear them breathe! The catamaran allows for 360° viewing from its covered foredeck and comfortable cabin. There is also a licensed bar, with snacks and drinks available.

You will be hosted by an Advanced Eco-Accredited company, dedicated to the protection of dolphins and whales. In 2015, they were awarded 'Green Travel Leader' accreditation, making them one of just 104 companies in the country that can demonstrate commitment to environmental responsibility through 10+ years of ECO certification.

This experience is part of the Responsible range because they are ECO certified by Ecotourism Australia.
