Join us for a journey of a lifetime. Experience the exquisite wonder of the natural world that surrounds Shellharbour. Witness the migration of the awe-inspiring humpback whale.

We specialise in Shellharbour whale watching excursions that you will not want to miss. Whale watching is one of the most notable scenic experiences that Shellharbour has to offer.

The Whale Watching Cruise gives you the rare opportunity to witness the majestic beauty of our migrating Humpback Whales. On the Northern migration we sight Whales traveling further out in the ocean. During the Southern migration we begin to get mothers and their new born calves coming closer to shore which gives you a chance to observe mothers teaching and nursing their young ones.

The journey begins with the picturesque Marina, from there we head to the world’s largest Blowhole at Kiama, seeing this natural wonder from seaward side. Entering Bushrangers Bay and it’s turquoise calm waters.

Excellent day, enjoyed the friendly crew and care taken with safety and comfort. Close encounters with dolfuns, seals and pod's of playful whales. Not a great photo but, there they were. Magic and many thanks.

Did the Eco Scenic Cruise and it was unreal! Such beautiful sites and destinations. We were amazed at our amazing coastline and wildlife, especially the seal colony and the bottom view of the Kiama Blow Hole. Mark and Ellisha were friendly and fantastic guides, so much knowledge about the local history and wildlife. Took my Mum for her Birthday and it was worth every cent. Will definitely be doing it again and will do the Whale Watching Cruise when they are in season too.
Great for locals and tourists! Thanks again for such a great time ✌🧡😊

Went on their Ecocruise this afternoon. Great two hour cruise with loads of info on the way. We saw lots of Seals. We sat at the front which the captain warned us would be bumpy- it was but our 6 and 4 year old girls loved it. Will definitely be back for Whale season.
On the new Marina too so a great day out, with nice cafes and walks etc.
