Whales put on a show!

We had humpbacks breaching right beside the boat — mums and calves waving their fins. The crew clearly knew where to find them. Magical morning.

Better than I imagined

We saw more whales than I ever expected — breaching, spy-hopping, the lot. The crew were brilliant and even guaranteed a sighting. Do it!

So close to the whales

A curious whale came right up to the boat and hung around for ages. The guides were passionate and knew heaps about the humpbacks. Unforgettable.

Humpbacks stole the show

These gentle giants breached so close we got soaked and did not care one bit. The guides were fantastic with the kids too.

Great morning on the water

Plenty of whale activity and a knowledgeable crew. Would have liked a touch longer out there but a wonderful experience overall.

Bucket-list whale watching

Humpbacks everywhere, a calf breaching over and over. The commentary really added to it. Warm, friendly crew and a very comfortable boat.

About Dolphin and Whale Cruise

Operated by Wildlife Coast Cruises · 3 Hours · Phillip Island, VIC

Step aboard in winter and head out from San Remo Jetty for a fresh-air cruise along Phillip Island’s rugged southern coast. As you pass the sheer granite cliffs of Cape Woolamai, you’ll feel the salt on your skin, scan the water for dolphin pods, and keep watch for humpback and southern right whales on their migration north and south.

Know before you go: - This cruise departs from San Remo Jetty on Phillip Island, so plan to arrive a little early to allow time to park and check in. - Winter conditions can feel brisk and windy out on the water, so bring a warm jacket, beanie, and closed-toe shoes. - A camera or binoculars are a great idea if you want to make the most of whale and bird sightings. - Wildlife sightings are expected, but they can’t be guaranteed, as the ocean always sets the pace. - If you’re prone to motion sickness, it’s worth taking precautions before boarding. - Tea, coffee, and cake are included, and you can purchase drinks from the licensed onboard bar if you’d like something extra.
