Whale Watching Discovery Tour from Lake Macquarie

Experience the wonder of one of nature's greatest migrations on The Whale Discovery Tour. Departing from Chalmers Street Jetty, Swansea, we'll journey through the pristine Swansea Channel and out to the stunning Lake Macquarie coastline in search of humpback whales. Alongside the whales, you may encounter curious long-nosed fur seals and pods of bottlenose or common dolphins.

Each winter, tens of thousands of humpbacks travel more than 10,000 km round trip from their Antarctic feeding grounds to the warmer waters of the Great Barrier Reef. Remarkably, many make the entire journey without eating, relying on a thick layer of blubber to keep them warm and fuel their travels.

From mothers guiding calves to powerful breaches and tail slaps, humpbacks are among the most captivating creatures to watch. Aboard our purpose-built vessel, you'll enjoy comfort, safety, and unobstructed water-level views for an unforgettable whale watching experience in Lake Macquarie.
