Jervis Bay Wild Whale Watching Cruise

Getting started

Arrive at Jervis Bay Wild Cruise Terminal, Huskisson, at least 15 minutes before departure. Present your e-voucher at check-in, then board our purpose-built vessel for a brief safety briefing before you set sail.

What to expect

• Spot resident bottlenose dolphins riding our bow wake.

• Photograph panoramic coastlines: white-sand beaches, sea cliffs, and secret coves.

Vessel highlights

• Live submersible camera: Watch a real-time feed of marine life on deck-mounted screens.

• 360° observation decks: Multiple open-air platforms give you unobstructed views and perfect photo angles.

Jervis Bay Wild Whale Watching Cruise

Glide through Jervis Bay's turquoise waters twice daily, watching 40-ton Humpback and Southern Right whales breach just meters from your vessel during their May-November migration.

Sail past the powder-white sands of Hyams Beach, beneath the towering 90-meter cliffs of Point Perpendicular, and alongside the dramatic rock formations of Booderee's "Hole in the Wall." Gain insider knowledge from marine experts who'll identify different whale behaviors, explain migration patterns, and answer all your burning questions about these magnificent creatures.

Discovering Hyams Beach's Powder-White Sands

This stretch of beach, renowned for its snow-like sand, stretches along the eastern coast of Jervis Bay, offering a picturesque backdrop to your whale watching adventure. The fine grains reflect sunlight with an almost iridescent glow, creating a serene contrast against the deep blue waters that surround it. Visitors marvel at the natural beauty as they pass by, their eyes drawn to the striking white sand beaches and the majestic cliffs towering over them.

Exploring Point Perpendicular's Majestic Cliffs

Access Point Perpendicular included in the tour package enabling an awe-inspiring view of its towering 90-meter cliffs. These imposing rock formations stand sentinel along Jervis Bay’s coastline, their rugged beauty a testament to millions of years of geological history. From the vessel's deck, you can see the sheer scale and grandeur of these cliffs as they rise dramatically from the bay’s turquoise waters, providing a dramatic natural backdrop for whale watching. The cliffs are not only breathtaking but also home to diverse marine life, adding another layer of ecological richness to your experience.
