The Best Whale Watching in Australia

There’s not much time left for whale watching season 2016 in Australia. As summer approaches, our beloved guests, the humpback whales, are already beginning the return leg of their journey. Their annual migration brings them north along our warm tropical shores, but the summer months see them heading south with their newly birthed young. For whale watching tours, only a month or less remains before the whales will depart until next year. Have you made plans to see them yet? For the best whale watching in Australia, book your whale eco cruise with Jervis Bay Wild today.

The Whales Love Our Bay

There are, admittedly, many spots along Australia’s eastern coast to catch a glimpse of the fascinating humpback whales. From land, many visitors and locals enjoy climbing up to high elevations to peer out over the water at the gliding ocean giants. These vantage points are beautiful in their own right, but nothing compares to being close to the humpback whales right on the ocean’s surface. With a whale watching tour in Jervis Bay, you’ll have the opportunity to appreciate the massive size and splendour of these amazing creatures.

And there’s no finer place for Australian whale watching. Jervis Bay welcomes hundreds to thousands of humpback whales annually. We are directly in the path of their yearly migration, and they always return without fail. Our location makes us the ideal spot to whale watch, and our scenic beauty only adds to the experience.

Towards the end of the season, it’s common to see Mum whales and their nursing calves spending time here in Honeymoon Bay. It seems they can’t get enough of our temperate seas, and the tranquil bay provides a safe haven that allows us unparalleled whale watching opportunities.

Other Marine Life to Spot

While the mighty humpback is the star of the show on a Jervis Bay whale watching adventure, our location is home to numerous other marine species. On your cruise with us, you will see whales, but you will almost certainly spot bottlenose dolphins (we have a resident pod 70+ members deep), as well as sea turtles, Australian fur seals, sharks, and oceanic birds. And because our tours are offered 365 days a year, every experience is different. We encourage you to come out not just for whale watching season but at other times of the year as well.

What Makes Jervis Bay Wild Special

Why are we the best place for whale watching in Australia? In addition to our outstanding location and plentiful numbers of happy whales, it’s also the team at Jervis Bay Wild that makes us so very special. Our entire staff is committed to a great experience for every guest. We are true animal and wildlife lovers, and our enthusiasm for the inhabitants of the bay enhances every aspect of your eco cruise. Our tour guides provide lively commentary that entertains, informs, and makes your whale watching eco cruise even better.

Jervis Bay Wild is also a certified eco-tourism entity. This is further evidence of our dedication to the magical wildlife that grace our area, as well as our commitment to sustainable practices and environmental conservation. When you cruise with us, you can feel good about our eco-tourism emphasis and our genuine desire to protect our earth and all its living things.
