Overview

Each winter, the waters around Cape Woolamai and Phillip Island play host to thousands of humpback and southern right whales. This whale watching cruise takes you to the heart of their migration route to maximize your chances of glimpsing them—difficult to do from land. On the way, keep your eyes peeled for dolphins, seals, and even an occasional albatross circling the skies above.
  • Explore the region’s beautiful wild coastline from a vantage point on the water
  • Learn more than you would on your own with live onboard commentary
  • A local crew knows the best spots to find whales
  • Enjoy views only made possible by a boat

    Choppy Wild and Fun.

    Lisa_A, Jul 2025
    The water was choppy with ocean waves, dipping here rising there, it was the sensation of a never ending roller coaster. The sms warned us to prepare for possible seasickness - glad we followed the advice! Our little group was fine. We saw seals playing in the distance. . Dolphins kept to play and swim beside our tour boat. The Wales in the area choose to stay hidden below the waters surface because of the chill factor from the wind., That’s ok, it’s an excuse to book again. The staff were kind friendly and helpful, ensuring everyone was safe.
