Whale Watching Nelson Bay

Join us for an unforgettable 3 hour wildlife cruise through the Port Stephens Great Lakes Marine Park, where there is much more to experience than just whale watching.

Head offshore aboard Imagine as we search for the incredible Humpback Whales during their annual migration. Watch these magnificent animals swim, breach, tail slap and play in their natural environment while our experienced crew shares informative commentary along the way.

But the adventure does not stop with the whales.

Our cruise also takes you out amongst the beautiful offshore islands of Port Stephens, including Cabbage Tree Island, where we visit the local fur seals relaxing and playing around the rocks.

Along the way, keep watch for dolphins, seabirds and other marine wildlife that call these waters home.

With a maximum of just 47 passengers and 360° viewing, Imagine offers a relaxed wildlife experience with plenty of room to move around the vessel and enjoy the action.

When conditions allow, we can also switch off the engines and sail alongside the whales, creating a wonderfully quiet experience where you may even hear the whales breathe.
