3hr Whale Watching Tour

4.5 based on all time ratings

Whale watching in Coral Bay is one of most adventurous experiences on offer at the World Heritage-listed Ningaloo Reef. 

This 3-hr cruise includes a leisurely cruise on Coral Bay to visit the majestic humpback whales in their natural environment. BYO option is available on board. The friendly and professional crew on board will offer information about the reef and its marine life. 

During the cruise, you will get an opportunity to see the whales from up-close and watch how they communicate through tail-slapping, breaching, waving, slapping pectoral fins and even sleeping. You might also spot resting mothers and calves in the calm waters of Batemans Bay. The cruise also offers a great chance to see many other marine animals such as dugongs, turtles and other whale species. Sip on your complimentary glass of champagne and snack on the delicious finger food served on board as you cruise past the picturesque Coral Bay. 

You will be cruising on board a spacious multi-level boat that offers the best views of Coral Bay on your short journey to the whale playground. The cruise is built for comfort, speed and open ocean cruising and has a spacious changing room and toilets.

The marine environment also contains a large diversity of habitats including reefs, open ocean, continental slopes, continental shelf and lagoons.
