Overview
Few people realise we have a large oceanic park at our doorstep!
Come and search for the different cetaceans and seabirds in their own territory some of which have migrated vast distances to be in the ocean waters off Sydney. The different species you will encounter will vary with the season but it will include members of many different families.
From August to December is your chance to catch a glimpse of the endangered wandering albatross the largest of all seabirds with a wingspan of up to 3 metres.
In season there is always the chance of seeing humpback whales on their southern migratory path from the coral sea as well as sperm whales, false killer, pilot whales and dolphins, sharks and sunfish.
The humpbacks can be particularly friendly during their September to November southern migration and it is not uncommon to have them swimming within metres of the boat.
Helpful guides are on board to help you to find & identify all of the species encountered. A hydrophone is available to use to tune into the whale songs.
Morning tea and lunch is included.
