Phillip Island Whale Cruise
During the winter months we offer a morning cruise from Phillip Island to spot Whales and other wildlife.
Circumnavigate the picturesque Phillip Island on a 4-hour morning cruise. Your captain and crew will guide you as you search for humpback and southern right whales, while keeping an eye out for dolphins and seals. The dolphins that call these waters home are often seen playing alongside the boat, while the Australian fur seals at Seal Rocks will leave you in awe with their playful antics.
In addition to these amazing wildlife sightings, you'll also have the opportunity to learn about the history of the area and gain insights about the marine life and wildlife that call this region home.
Enjoy a delicious morning tea and complimentary tea and coffee, as you marvel at the spectacular coastal scenery of Australia.
