Top Coffs Harbour Outdoor Activities

Heighten your appreciation of the flora and fauna that make Australia’s Coff’s Harbour so special on a kayak tour with a marine scientist. Get way more insight into local wildlife than you would on your own as you explore in an eco-friendly kayak at sunset, when temperatures are cooler, and animals tend to be more active.

See the beautiful Coffs Harbour from a different perspective--while plummeting toward it in a free fall. First-time or repeat skydivers will love the chance to jump out of a plane over Coffs Harbour, landing on a beach beside the Solitary Islands Marine Reserve. You’ll be strapped to an instructor so you don’t have to worry about safety. This skydiving adventure is an ideal way to combine sightseeing with a thrilling adrenaline rush.

Did you know that getting out in nature reduces stress and anxiety?We will spot the wildlife on the river including stingrays, fish, herons, egrets, ibis, spoonbills osprey and sea-eagles. Learn what makes mangroves one of the most interesting plants we have and the amazing adaptations it has to live in the sea-water. Try your hand at yabby pumping and exploring the sandflats for soldier and hermit crabs. Learn about the aboriginal fishtrap and the local history of the area. Relax and unwind, your guide will take photos for you and send them to you should you wish.

The Jetty Dive FAST Boat Ride out means we usually see whales only minutes after leaving the harbour. If we see whales in the distance jumping, we can move from one group to another in a very short time, and not miss any action. The one and a half hour trip is mostly spent watching whales, not getting there. It is not just a Whale Watch trip, it is a fun adventure boat ride too! Mega Wild is Jetty Dive Centre's custom built Whale Watching Boat! Designed for maximum views and comfort, Mega Wild is Fast and stable. It has a fully covered cabin and an exceptionally dry smooth ride. Motors are super quiet when idling along with the Whales – not disrupting them or scaring them away! We get to the Whales quickly… spending less time getting there means more time for that amazing close-up Whale Watch experience! If we see some Whale jumping action elsewhere, we have the ability to be onto the action very quickly. Be prepared for a fun finale in the harbour on the journey home too!

You will be amazed the variety of Marine life! A mixture of fish from the tropics and sub-tropical varieties as well. At the Solitary Islands Marine Park the water is usually much cleaner and warmer because of the East Australian Current. The Solitary Islands Marine Park is in a sanctuary zone, and is teeming with life! Join us for a double-dive, and see what there is to see at the Solitary Islands Marine Park!
