  • Encounter dolphins in pristine Jervis Bay

    Set out from Huskisson and glide into the heart of Jervis Bay Marine Park, where over a hundred resident bottlenose dolphins thrive in some of Australia’s clearest waters. As your eco-cruise navigates past white-sand beaches and ancient sandstone cliffs, dolphins often appear in playful pods, racing the bow or weaving through the surf just meters away. Guides with deep local knowledge narrate the journey, pointing out feeding grounds near Plantation Point and Callala, and sharing insights into the dolphins’ social lives and the bay’s remarkable transformation into a protected sanctuary.

    Discover a thriving marine ecosystem

    Along the way, you might spot sea eagles soaring overhead, turtles surfacing near the reefs, or the occasional seal basking on a rocky outcrop. The boat’s open decks offer panoramic views of this vibrant ecosystem, making every moment a chance for discovery. Whether you’re a wildlife enthusiast or a family seeking a memorable adventure, this cruise delivers close encounters with dolphins and a window into one of Australia’s healthiest marine environments—an experience shaped by both nature’s spectacle and the stories of those who call Jervis Bay home.
