About this tour

Cruise Jervis Bay Marine Park on a two-hour voyage that reveals the region's coastal character and resident wildlife. Navigate past Point Perpendicular's dramatic sea cliffs and slip into the sheltered waters of Honeymoon Bay, where dolphins often appear and sea eagles hunt overhead. Your skipper shares local knowledge throughout, pointing out the cream-coloured sands of Hyams Beach and explaining the bay's ecology. The turquoise water and sheer rock formations are best appreciated from the water itself—inaccessible from shore.

Highlights

  • Point Perpendicular's towering sandstone cliffs
  • Spot dolphins, sea eagles and wading sandpipers
  • Honeymoon Bay's protected lagoon setting
  • Hyams Beach's distinctive white sand shores
  • Live skipper commentary on marine ecology
  • Crystal-clear turquoise water views

What to expect

Expect a straightforward coastal cruise with plenty of time to take photographs and watch for wildlife. The boat moves slowly enough to read the landscape—your guide will point out geological features and explain what thrives in these protected waters. Sightings aren't guaranteed, but dolphins are reasonably common. The ride itself is smooth unless seas are rough; the main discomfort is wind chill and spray, particularly in cooler months. Bring a warm layer and secure loose items. Two hours passes quickly if you're watching the shoreline or scanning for movement in the water.

Good to know

Wear warm clothing; exposed water can feel colder than expected. Motion sickness tablets aren't provided—visit a pharmacist beforehand if you're prone to seasickness. Children need constant adult supervision. Cancellations on the day forfeit payment. Service animals are welcome. Not suitable if pregnant, immobilised in the spine, or with serious heart conditions.
