Three Hour Whale and Dolphin Watch Cruise

Experience the annual humpback whale migration on a three-hour offshore cruise aboard Imagine, a spacious 16-metre sailing catamaran.

Each year, thousands of humpback whales travel along the east coast of Australia, and Port Stephens offers a wonderful opportunity to see these magnificent animals as they pass through the waters surrounding the Port Stephens–Great Lakes Marine Park.

Cruise offshore past the islands and headlands while keeping watch for whales breaching, tail slapping, spy hopping or simply travelling along the coastline. Along the way, there is also the chance to encounter dolphins, seals and a variety of oceanic seabirds.

Imagine offers excellent viewing from its spacious upper deck, with 360-degree views to help guests make the most of every sighting. The vessel also features a comfortable enclosed lower cabin, licensed Mermaid Bar, snacks available for purchase and onboard restrooms.

Throughout the cruise, Imagine's friendly and knowledgeable crew provide informative commentary about the whales, local wildlife and marine environment, helping guests gain a greater understanding of this remarkable annual migration.
