Jervis Bay may be well known for exciting eco cruises and whale watching adventures, but there is a huge range of other activities to be enjoyed. Before or after you book your tour with Jervis Bay Wild, consider getting out and exploring some of the region’s outdoor fun.
Quaint Seaside Towns
If you’re looking for something with a bit of local flavour, why not journey through the coastal towns of Jervis Bay? Whether by foot or on wheels, there is an abundance of shopping, restaurants, wineries, and nature to be discovered. Electric bikes are available for hire, so you can pedal and glide with ease as you make your way throughout the region.
Rock Climbing
Adventurous folk will enjoy the climbing at Point Perpendicular, where the views are unparalleled. Look out over the broad sea as you make your way skyward. There are a number of spots for experienced climbers to try, ranging along the coast. The point has impressive sandstone cliffs, and stands at a towering 80m in height, so you’re not likely to be disappointed.
Bushwalking/Hiking
Why not explore where land and sea meet? The blending of bushland and beach is beautiful and serene. Booderee National Park offers a selection of trails and areas perfect for a rugged bushwalk or a leisurely stroll. Dip your toes in the ocean or amble in the shade through the Botanical Gardens. These are the only gardens in Australia owned and operated by local Aboriginal people, the community of Wreck Bay. As you enjoy the park, you’ll appreciate the cultural and historical significance of this region for the coastal Aboriginal tribes.
Snorkelling
Take advantage of the area’s stunning beaches and crystal clear waters. Visibility is great in the aquamarine seas of Jervis Bay, and there are snorkelling sites to suit all levels of experience. Some of the most popular spots include Honeymoon Bay, Murrays Beach, Green Patch, and Plantation Point. There are many places to hire snorkelling equipment throughout the region. Scuba diving, swimming, and stand up paddleboarding are a few other options for making the most of our temperate oceans. In fact, if you’re looking to try out a unique water sport, stand up paddleboards can be hired right from us here at Jervis Bay Wild.
Kayaking
Hitting the gentle bay waves in a sea kayak is an outstanding activity that excites your senses and gets your blood pumping. If you’re looking for a mildly strenuous workout that also supplies you with beautiful views and an on-the-water adventure, kayaking will provide a day of excitement. At Jervis Bay Wild we offer kayaking tours throughout the year. Single and double kayaks can ferry your entire family around the bay, under the instruction of our experienced staff. So grab a paddle and we’ll see you out on the water.
Camping
If you’re looking for a rugged, rustic experience, outdoor camping in Jervis Bay will fit the bill. Basic no-frills bush camping is available at Honeymoon Bay and in the national parks. Some sites will be near to the water, so you can drift to sleep listening to the soft sounds of lapping waves. If you seek accommodation with more amenities, there are several different caravan parks in the area with affordable rates.
