TESTIMONIALS
We saw so many wild dolphins and they were really close to the boy!
Highly recommended.
We saw so many wild dolphins and they were really close to the boy! Really enjoyed our half day out on the water in Jervis Bay thanks to Kevin! We took the little self skippered tinny and it was exactly what we were after... definitely worth the money and I would recommend this to anyone.

We did the passage tour. Perfect speed for the oldies and my little one who is scared of boats. I would have gathered it be a smidge quicker.
The place is stunning, so any boat ride tour will definitely do it justice. It was painful to … More not be able to stop and swim or Snorkel at these crystal clear beaches and rock pools so if they offered a swimming option, I would highly recommend that instead.
We were lucky to see dolphins in the final moments of the tour and they were incredible.
The boat was nice and big. Heaps of room to move around. My only whinge is that there is no cool place to get relief from the sun and heat. One kid got super over heated and me too if I'm honest. An air-conditioned inside space would have been absolutely magic!!
Despite that, we had a great experience and I would highly recommend -

Fantastic tour by Dennis and Theresa. I would strongly recommend the bay tour, not the dolphin tour, as you'd see all the facets of the bay in 2h. Abso-f-lutely stunning.Bring a jacket, can be chilly. -

We had booked a tour of the bay on a small boat. The crew was very caring and explained everything enthusiastically. However, I would not recommend it for very small children under 12 years old. -

My amazing sister gifted us all a trip out with Jervis Bay Wild and what an arvo it was too.
A magnificent spring afternoon, we set off and it soon became rather windy as it tends to do when on the water.
Not to worry, the staff on board … More made sure it was as smooth as possible.
An informative 2.5hrs on board, we saw beautiful majestic humpback whales, adult and juvenile breaching close by the boat, we were told facts about whales, history of the area and other things to see and do.
I have been lucky to have been on a few whale cruises now...and this is one of the best. Oh and Teresa, a deckhand was super friendly and fun.
Do it...you won't regret it. -

Amelia Hurst ★★★★★ 7 months ago
Had an incredible experience on a day I just had some time to kill in Jervis Bay. Being near the end of winter, and the weather being a bit miserable, I wasn’t holding much hope for animal spotting and just willing to have a cold but enjoyable … More cruise around the bay. WELL… Neither the Dolphins, the Whales or the Albatross were having any of that and they all came out to show off. Much to the delight of everyone onboard, 3 humpbacks took a whole lot of interest in us. The staff were friendly, knowledgable and quite entertaining to boot. Overall it was a wonderful experience and I would happily kill time on a Jervis Bay Wild cruise again. -

Athfos ★★★★★ 11 months ago
My partner and I really struck the jackpot, what a beautiful day, no winds, blue skies, calm seas and a happy crowd. Dolphins would be the bonus. The vessel was roomy and had great seating and viewing areas and was very comfortable as we … More started our search for Dolphins. The cruising was great very relaxing, after about an hour we found a pod of dolphins and again we were blessed. A large pod had mustered up a huge school of fish and as the fish boiled the water surface dolphins took their turns at getting their fill. We stayed and watched for a while and then started heading for Huskisson harbour, our vessel was quickly escorted by several dolphins for ages, a pleasure to watch. Even our puppies were able to join us for the outing. Good value for money, the other cruises also look fun. -

This was the best boat tour I have experienced in my 70 years. The skipper even came after us as we were leaving and gave me a new hat and said Happy 70th birthday! The tour around Jervis Bay was kept very safe , but was very exciting … More , fun and also informative. We saw and watched plenty of dolphins as they fished collaboratively in the bay.We also spotted some hard working Naval personnel on their boat :). What a joy this was , best present ever ! Many thanks to Henry and JB Wild. -

Oh my goodness! Excellent experience in everyway on our whale watching cruise.
We saw 4 whales, dolphins & a random seal. We were a family of 5. With kids 10 y.o; 3 y.o and 4 months. It was a very large boat with places to sit inside … More in the shade and two levels to sit on up top. Bring a hat for all! Also Recommended taking a baby carrier for little ones; so your hands are free to help you move around the boat.
The staff are absolutely amazing. Kristy is a legend and so was our skipper of the day. All lovely people. Can even enjoy a beer on the boat. -

Sadiq Aslam ★★★★★ a year ago
It was an amazing experience, hands down one of the best things I've done. Our viewing was severely restricted due to an ongoing naval exercise in the area, however the effort and passion of the captain & crews were amazing and … More in the end we did manage to see some Whales.
The captain even exceeded the tour timing just so that we could see the whales longer, since the whales only came out nearing the end while we were heading back. We were all really appreciative of his gesture.
On top of that, the captain's commentary is really funny and he has a great sense of humour. We were enjoying the boat ride thanks to him even though the first part was wet and gloomy due to the weather and not being able to see any whales. -

Took my son for his birthday, we saw 3x whales, 2x dolphins, a seal, loads of sea birds and a huge stingray back at the wharf. My son loved it. He was also invited to steer the boat and announced over the speaker. He was made to feel … More very special indeed. A great family day out. -

Fantastic Tour! We did the Jervis Bay Passage Tour. Henry, the Skipper was very funny. We saw a nice pod of Bottlenose Dolphins and lots of fantastic scenery in the Bay! Some of the prettiest coastline in NSW and the company staff were … More fantastic to deal with! Thoroughly recommended a Tour with these guys!!! -
Monique Wildewood ★★★★★ a year ago
Great family-friendly cruise. My kids loved it and were chuffed at seeing dolphins. The crew were so friendly, and also made sure that kids and everyone got turns at the bow to watch the dolphins racing the boat there, though there were … More dolphins at the side too. The boom-netting was fun, and I would especially like to thank the crew-member who took our group on for treating my elderly less-mobile mother with dignity and helping her in and out of the boom-net. It helped to make the day for her, when she wasn't sure about whether she could do it or not. -
Bharat N ★★★★★ a year ago
Had a great experience. We got to watch schools of dolphin really up close . I wasn't aware there was boom netting that you could do on the boat, which had to be booked in advance. Also, there are very few parking spots so had to park … More the car a couple minutes away, best to plan your trip well. -

We went to the passage tour as it is not a whale season ATM. This tour is a smaller group than dolphins and whale watching tour but it was nice and not crowded. The captain and crew were friendly and professional. We get so close to see … More cliffface and beautiful beaches. Gave us a pretty good Idea which beach we should go to visit on the next day. -

Despite the fresh southerly and swell, we loved our half day cruise in their large twin hulled tour boat. Skipper was very informative. Pulled in at multiple spots to explain the history of the area.

I cannot recommend Jervis Bay Wild enough. The service we received was great. When we went on the Whale Watching Cruise a speedboat turned up which I was not expecting. As the company had not been getting the numbers of people owing to … More COVID in the region they combined three cruises into one. Whale Watching, Dolphin Watching and also saw the beautiful rocky coastline and caves. The whales were out in force luckily for us as well as the dolphins. A big thank you to Kevin who captained the boat and gave the commentary and Vlad who was his lookout. They respected the whales and dolphins and kept a fair distance away from them but close enough for us to enjoy. -

Booked whale watching for two and I can’t recommend enough! The crew was so friendly, knowledgeable and caring. Booking was seamless and in line with COVID measures temp checks and hand sanitiser. On a smaller boat which meant you feel … More closer to the action. We spotted 3 whales one which did a full breach, dolphins and a seal. Got a view of the rock formations near the lighthouse and a visit to honeymoon bay. Such a great day out! -
Jonny Rees ★★★★★ 4 years ago
We booked with Kevin on Saturday. The Husky Tri was on which meant most roads were blocked off, Kevin was doing a deal with the passage tour, dolphin tour as well as the boom net cheaper than normal. I can't thank him enough for doing … More this and also the experience we had was amazing. We learnt so much from the captain telling us information about Jervis bay and also pointing out stuff to us. We were lucky enough to see dolphins, a seal, penguins and kangaroos. The boom net was amazing, siting in the water while the boat pulls you. I can't wait to come back and book more tours. Thank you. -

We had the opportunity at last minute to book a Jervis Bay Passage tour on what some might think would not be an ideal day, it was a bit overcast and a gentle southerly wind and swell was predicted. To our absolute delight we had an incredible … More experience, after living in the area most of my life I saw several beaches for the first time.Kevin and Brendan shared so much information on the history of the bay, the Creswell navy base is particularly interesting, it’s beautiful heritage listed buildings are easily viewed from the water.The rock formations around point perpendicular are incredible, my children compared it to the horizontal falls tour we did when travelling around Australia.Towards the end of the tour we saw about 20 dolphins including a few babies which was an absolute delight.My tips:- Wear sunscreen even if it’s overcast- do the south coast or Jervis bay tours to see the incredible cliffs- do a tour in any weather, don’t wait for a sunny day- don’t worry too much about jackets, they supply spray jackets which are warm- make sure your cameras and phones are fully charged, there are so many photo opportunities- my children aged 11, 9 and 18 months all loved it -

Went on the twilight whale watching cruise and it was amazing!Went along the coast of the bay out to the open ocean. Unfortunately it was a really windy day so that was a bit unpleasant and got drenched in the end (tried to tough it out … More at the front of the boat haha) but still well worth it.We got to see a few whales and saw them breach the water which was really amazing and then saw some dolphins that followed us into the port!Captain and crew were helpful, awesome and entertaining, big thanks to the captain for being so accommodating to my mum and I.All round great experience 🙂
