whale watching

Whale watching cruises leave from Nelson Bay and are well worth it in the seasons that humpbacks pass by May to November. You may also see dolphins and penguins. There is a variety of vessels and price ranges to choose from at the marina.

dolphin watching

There is a colony of resident dolphins that can be seen from the beaches or from the popular cruises that leave from Nelson Bay.
