Dolphin & Whale Cruise

Go on a serene whale and dolphin cruise along the beautiful coastline of Phillip Island to witness the beautiful aquatic wildlife of the area. As you sip on your afternoon tea, you will get to marvel at the spectacular acrobatics of playful dolphins and the gentle giants of the sea. The sights that you view are further beautified by splendid backgrounds of coastal formations and rugged cliffs of the area. If you pay close attention to the the informative commentary and your surroundings, you will also get to sight shy albatrosses, Australian fur seals, and the very special Humpback and Southern Right whales.

On board the vessel there’s a licensed bar as well, for you to indulge in if you choose to do so. If you still need more reasons to go on this cruise, we will have you know that all sightings aboard this cruise contributes to the Two Bays Whale Project, which aims at better understanding whale movements hence improving the possible outcomes for conservation of these animals.
