Wilsons Prom Whale Cruise

Set out from Port Welshpool Jetty and spend six laid-back but genuinely exciting hours cruising the wild coastline of Wilsons Promontory. From September to November, this stretch of sea becomes a highway for migrating Humpback Whales, and you’ll have a front-row seat to the action as your skipper scans the water for blow, tail and breach.

As you glide past rugged headlands, remote bays and standout spots like Rabbit Island, Sealers Cove, Refuge Cove and the Prom lighthouse, keep your eyes peeled for the locals that make this coastline so special. You may spot Australian fur seals hauled out on the rocks, Common Dolphins slicing through the water, and shy Albatrosses riding the wind above the swell. With onboard wildlife interpretation, video displays, morning tea and lunch included, it’s an easy, comfortable way to soak up one of Victoria’s most beautiful marine environments. If you’re keen to see Wilsons Prom at its wildest, this is a brilliant way to do it.

Know before you go: - This cruise departs from Port Welshpool Jetty, so make sure you head there rather than Wilsons Prom itself. - Whale sightings are very common between September and November, but as with all wildlife, they can never be guaranteed. - Bring warm layers and a windproof or waterproof jacket, as conditions on the water can feel a lot cooler than on land. - Sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses and a camera are well worth packing for the trip. - If you’re prone to seasickness, it’s a good idea to take precautions before boarding. - Check your booking confirmation for departure details and arrive with plenty of time to check in and get settled.
