Overview

This two-hour humpback whale watching cruise departs from Newcastle, New South Wales, on a small eco-tourism boat designed for safety and comfort, carrying no more than 20 guests. The boat travels into open waters to encounter humpback whales in their natural habitat while maintaining a respectful distance. A professional wildlife guide provides continuous commentary about the whales' behaviors and the surrounding coastal scenery, including information on local landmarks, culture, and history. Passengers may also see dolphins and seals during the trip. Premium weatherproof jackets are provided to protect against the elements, and a marine toilet is available onboard. Multiple departure times are offered for convenience. Children under three years old are not permitted, and those under eighteen must be accompanied by an adult.
