Experience the annual migration of the Humpback Whales in Newcastle on our Encounter Tour.

Experience the annual migration of the Humpback Whales in Newcastle on our Encounter Tour.

Highlights

  • Unobstructed 360° views
  • Premier Newcastle whale watching cruise
  • Safe and comfortable eco-tourism vessel

Join us for a day out at sea on our custom-built adventure boat as we seek out the magnificent Humpback Whales as they migrate through the east coast.

Humpback whales are one of the most inquisitive and interactive species out of all marine mammals. During their migration, we get to witness them on their long journey from the Antarctic to the warm safe waters south of the equator in order to have their calves. The number of whales increases every year which gives us more of a chance to witness these beautiful creatures.

In addition, we’ll get to enjoy the stunning coastline of Newcastle and encounter other marine life such as dolphins and long-nosed fur seals.

This is for anyone looking to connect with marine life and enjoy beautiful coastal views.
