About
- Board a custom-built adventure boat and head offshore for a unique whale watching tour from Lake Macquarie. Departing from the ocean side of Swansea Bridge, cruise through the Swansea Channel before passing Moon Island in search of Humpback Whales.
- The migration of humpback whales past the Lake Macquarie Coastline is one of the greatest migrations of any animal on earth. Get up close on board the adventure boat, Hydro, and witness their magnificent behaviours.
- With water-level views and plenty of space to move around, the eco-tourism vessel is the perfect viewing platform for watching these amazing creatures. Even-better, we're an accredited quality and sustainable tourism operator with a team of experienced wildlife guides.
