Whale Discovery Tour

Set out from Chalmers Street Jetty, right on the oceanside of Swansea Bridge, and spend two easy hours cruising some of the most beautiful water in the Lake Macquarie region. As you glide through Swansea Channel and along the coastline, keep your eyes on the horizon for humpback whales on their annual migration, with the chance of spotting long-nosed fur seals and common dolphins along the way.

You’ll travel on a custom-built vessel designed for wildlife viewing, so you can stay comfortable and protected while still feeling close to the action at water level. It’s the kind of outing where the salt air, the open coastline and the thrill of seeing a whale surface all come together in one memorable trip. If you’re keen for a relaxed, nature-filled cruise with a proper dose of Aussie marine life, this is a beauty to book.

Know before you go: - Check in at Chalmers Street Jetty, on the oceanside of Swansea Bridge, before departure. - Dress for the conditions and bring a light jacket, as it can feel cooler out on the water. - Bring sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses for sun protection during the cruise. - A camera or binoculars is a great idea if you want a closer look at the wildlife. - If you’re prone to motion sickness, it’s smart to bring your preferred remedy. - No specific restrictions were provided, so the cruise is generally suitable for most travellers.
