Feel the thrill of seeing majestic whales up close in their natural environment on this epic whale watching cruise in Port Stephens. You'll explore the waterways for 3 hours, observing the whales as they make their annual migration north along the Australian east coast. Over 40,000 - 50,000 humpback whales swim past Port Stephens towards to warmer waters of the South Pacific Ocean between May and November each year, and after breeding they migrate with their calves back down south. Seeing these gigantic creatures close up is an exhilarating experience you can't beat. Jump on board and sail the Port Stephens coastal waters on an amazing 54 foot catamaran that is designed for ocean voyages and has a stable platform. You'll be well looked after by the expert staff and crew who will also provide insightful commentary about the whales as you go. While you're out on the water you also have a great opportunity to spot dolphin pods and maybe even fairy penguins, seals, albatross and more. This whale watching tour will have you buzzing the whole time and long after returning to shore.

This was a gift for my mother's birthday, she said it was the best trip of her life and has told all her friends and our family about the fabulous service, how knowledgeable the crew was and what a great boat to go on. I have to wholeheartedly agree, it was a perfect day and we got the trifecta, whales, dolphins and seals. We would both highly recommend booking with Adrenaline and sailing with Imagine cruises. We'll be back in September for another whale watching trip. Thanks to everyone for making my Mum's birthday one she'll always remember.
