Whale and Dolphin Watching with Imagine Port Stephens
Enjoy the magic of sailing on board the Big Cat Imagine and experiencing up-close encounters with Humpback whales migrating up the coast to calve in warmer waters. The males are competing for the females to mate so there is a lot of breaching and tail slapping going on. Or watch some of the more than 5,000 whales and calves returning in October and November.
Imagine, a 16 meter (52 foot) luxury sailing catamaran purpose built for whale and dolphin watching, sails twice daily on two to three and a half hour cruises from Nelson Bay in Port Stephens - acknowledged as being one of the most accessible (only two-and-a-half hours drive North from Sydney) and beautiful waterways to be found anywhere.
During the cruises a multitude of wildlife is often observed including Little Blue (Fairy) Penguins, Sea Eagles, Albatross, Fur Seals or Giant Sea Turtles. There's a very friendly crew and pleasant atmosphere on board Imagine with its spacious foredeck and lounge with licensed bar, and free tea and coffee and biscuits.
The skippers are all knowledgeable experts on sea life in general and are passionate about dolphins and whales in particular. Theyll provide you with informed and fascinating commentary.
