Set sail from d'Albora Marina in Nelson Bay aboard the MV Osprey on a 1.5-hour dolphin watching and eco adventure cruise through Port Stephens Marine Park. Port Stephens is home to wild bottlenose dolphins, and the boat's two open-air decks allow 360-degree viewing, giving you the best chance of spotting them as you cruise past Jimmy's Beach and the nearby offshore islands. On the way back, keep your eyes peeled for penguins, seals, turtles and sea birds as you pass the stunning shores of Shoal Bay, Little Beach and Nelson Head to Fly Point. Live commentary on board brings the scenery to life, from Yacaaba and the Tomaree headlands to Murphy's Gap, and shares the World War II history of Port Stephens. The MV Osprey can reach shallower waters that other vessels cannot, so you can explore parts of the bay others miss. The cruise departs at 10:30 am from Dock D at d'Albora Marina.
