Traverse through crystal-clear waters and alongside the pristine beaches of the Jervis Bay Marin Park, in pursuit of these marine behemoths. From May through November, these whales can be seen in rising numbers along the NSW coast, as part of their annual migratory treks. Particularly in October and November, mother whales and their offspring even come into Jervis Bay for a few days to recuperate and foster a bond with their calves before resuming their immense journey back to Antarctica.

Well oiled operation - A well oiled machine - pity the whales kept eluding us as we got close, but that is out of their control! The staff were warm, friendly, attentive and funny. The boat was clean. They also have impressive facilities at the wharf. My 4 and 8 year olds had a lovely time, despite the wind, thanks to the staff.

It was ok, the whales were far, but the boat captain made all efforts to take us to see them - The staff were attentive, spoke to people on the boat, they offered jackets to those who were cold. Only disappointment was that we didn't see the whales closer. Also, the photo on the tour website shows a big boat but the trip is on a small boat.

Rip off! - Miserable! We were sold a whale boat tour at 9:30 in the morning and at 12 o'clock when the tour was supposed to start it was suddenly cancelled on the grounds that the waves were too high. It was calm and the weather was perfect, there were no waves that day. Then they tried to sell us a dolphin tour for the afternoon... but then the waves were apparently no longer a problem!
