The Common Dolphins are fun, curious and interactive...and we'll be on the lookout for them as we head towards our favourite snorkeling spots at spectacular Broughton Island. An offshore species, these dolphins are regularly seen during our trips, and they generally steal the show! Along the way, we'll take some time to learn about another of our incredible islands, Cabbage Tree (named for the Cabbage Tree Palms that line it's valleys!) - we might even be lucky enough to spot the pair of Sea Eagles that nest there...we often see them sitting on a tree branch or circling overhead! Be sure to snap a photo or two of this awesome island...home to a colony of Fur Seals during the winter months and also a fabulous snorkeling spot during the summer! At Broughton, we'll anchor at picturesque Providence Beach or Coalshaft Bay for a swim or snorkel in the clear and protected waters. Our guide will introduce you to the islands' wonderful underwater world - wobbegong sharks (they hide under the rocks, like to sleep a lot, and don't eat people!), rays and a variety of fish are often seen. If you'd prefer not to snorkel, you're welcome to simply swim in the shallows or even have a walk along the waters edge and explore the pristine beach. With a maximum of 12 - 15 guests, your experience will be relaxed, personalised and crowd-free. * You'll be assisted by a qualified Snorkel Guide* The use of our masks, fins & snorkels is included* You'll hear some interesting & informative commentary and be able to chat with our friendly & knowledgeable crew* Enjoy 360° viewing - you won't miss a thing! 3 hour tour - Operates daily (weather/sea conditions permitting) from November - April.
Fast & Fun...the best way to experience our beautiful Bay and see our favourite Bottlenose Dolphins!
Port Stephens has over 100 resident Dolphins that live in the Bay....on our crowd-free 'Dolphin Watch Express' we'll spend time getting to know these friendly 'locals'.
'Envision' moves through the water quickly, but safely and smoothly - you'll want your camera handy as we cruise along beautiful Shoal Bay, past our iconic Headlands and across to 'Dolphin hot-spot" Jimmy's Beach.
Bring your swimwear - during the summer months, after we've seen the Dolphins, there'll be the opportunity to jump off for a swim!
