Travellers to the area choose to visit Jervis Bay for many reasons. Beautiful scenery is a strong draw for visitors to the region, but one thing that stands out as a major attraction is the abundance of wildlife to be found in Jervis Bay. People of all ages love seeing wildlife, and nothing beats seeing these animals in their natural habitat. Jervis Bay Wild offers a wide variety of tours specialising in wildlife experiences, so visitors can have an unforgettable encounter with some of our local creatures, right in the area in which they naturally live.
Interacting with wildlife in an eco-friendly, safe, and controlled way (such as on a dolphin eco cruise) is a great experience, not only for the amazing memories created, but for additional benefits which you may never have considered.
Learning
Encountering wildlife in its natural habitat is truly thrilling, but it can also be a tremendous learning experience. On a tour such as our whale watching cruise, you’ll spot the majestic humpback whales as they make their way through the water, often catching a glimpse of them splashing, jumping, or blowing water through their spouts. It’s incredible to see these common behaviours of the whales, and as you observe, you’ll also be learning from your knowledgeable guide, helping you better understand the creatures you are encountering. An eco-cruise is a holiday experience which is well-structured, as it combines fascinating education with a really fun experience.
Relaxation
Taking an eco-cruise in Jervis Bay certainly is relaxing. Spending a serene afternoon on a tour such as the sea lion eco cruise finds you surrounded by the pristine beauty of striking coastal cliffs and sandy beaches. You’ll be calmed by the gentle lull of the bay’s waves as you listen to your tour guide share facts and stories about the area. Encountering wildlife up close and personal also contributes to your relaxation. It’s a largely accepted fact that the presence of animals soothes us and contributes to an overall feeling of happiness. This is definitely the case when interacting with wildlife on an eco cruise. You get to spend time with wildlife in a natural environment, from your secure spot on board our vessel. When you observe the adorable sea lions on the eco cruise, you’ll find yourself growing increasingly calm as you watch them sleeping in the sunshine or playing gently amongst the waves.
Connection & Appreciation
Interacting closely with animals in the wild has the special benefit of reminding us how connected we all are. When you see the dolphins, sea lions, whales and more in Jervis Bay, you’ll appreciate how closely we are all linked in the great circle of life. Increasing your knowledge of wildlife and of this planet aids you in understanding your place in the world, and possibly encourages you to take responsibility for helping preserve it. As a certified ecotourism company, we pride ourselves on our commitment to the environment, to sustainability, and to preserving our earth for both humankind and the animal world. Interacting with wildlife on one of our Jervis Bay eco cruises may help you learn a bit more about eco friendly living, and how you can do your part to help keep the planet beautiful and safe for these incredible creatures.
