whale watching

See something totally awesome!

Every year close to 5,000 Humpback and Minke whales migrate along the south-east coast of Australia. Witness the greatness of these extraordinary creatures on our whale watching trip in Port Stephens, and spot some of the dolphins that live in these waters, while enjoying the comfort of a beautiful sailing catamaran.
