Whale Watching Cruise

Set out from Shell Cove and spend the next 90 minutes soaking up one of NSW’s most scenic stretches of coastline. From the water, you’ll pass the mighty Kiama blowhole, glide by the calm turquoise sweep of Bushrangers Bay, and take in the clean lines of Windang Island and Perkins Beach as the boat turns north. It’s a relaxed cruise, but there’s always something happening on the horizon.

Keep your camera handy for dolphins that may surface beside the vessel, and watch for the fur seals that often lounge on the rocks around the Five Islands. With fresh sea air on your face and the coastline rolling past, this is the kind of outing that makes you slow down and really look around. If you’re after a simple, scenic wildlife cruise with a proper local feel, this one delivers. Dress for the weather, bring your camera, and come ready to enjoy the view.

Know before you go: - Check in at the vessel near the waterfront tavern at 9 Marina Drive, Shell Cove. - Bring a hat or beanie, a weather jacket or jumper, sunglasses, sunscreen, drinking water, and your camera. - Dress for changing conditions on the water, as it can feel cooler and breezier offshore. - This cruise is not recommended for passengers over 24 weeks pregnant. - Arrive a little early so you have time to check in and get settled before departure.
