Product Info
Join us on The Whale Discovery Tour for a spectacular day on the water, watching humpback whales migrate along the breathtaking Lake Macquarie coastline. Departing from Chalmers Street Jetty on the ocean side of Swansea Bridge, we’ll cruise through the crystal-clear waters of Swansea Channel before heading offshore in search of whales. Keep your eyes open for long-nosed fur seals and playful bottlenose or common dolphins along the way. Our custom-built boat offers shelter from the elements while still giving you unbeatable, water-level views of the action. Every year, tens of thousands of humpbacks make the journey from the icy waters of Antarctica to the warmer seas near the Great Barrier Reef – a 10,000 km round trip, often without eating! Powered by their energy-rich blubber, these ocean giants migrate, nurture calves, and perform spectacular aerial displays, from dramatic breaches to thunderous tail slaps. Whale watching from Lake Macquarie is an unforgettable way to see these incredible animals up close in the wild.
