Set off from Port Welshpool Jetty on a six-hour cruise along the stunning east coast of Wilsons Promontory. During their migration, humpback and southern right whales travel along this coast, and dolphins are often seen too. Watch for whale behaviours such as breaching, spy-hopping, feeding and tail and peduncle slapping while your captain shares live commentary on the marine life around you. Between sightings, the cruise passes beaches, dense forests, hidden coves and cliffs, with the chance to view Australian and New Zealand fur seals in their natural habitat and seabirds such as White Bellied Sea Eagles, Shy Albatross and Australasian gannets. Morning tea, lunch, afternoon snacks and complimentary coffee and tea are included on board, so you can relax and enjoy the day on the water.
