Spectacular Marine Encounters

Embark on an extraordinary three-hour wildlife adventure through the pristine waters of the Port Stephens Great Lakes Marine Park. Aboard the intimate vessel Imagine, you will experience the magic of the ocean far beyond a standard whale watching tour. 🐋

Set sail offshore as we track the magnificent Humpback Whales along their annual migration path. Feel the thrill as these gentle giants breach, tail-slap, and play in their natural habitat, all accompanied by fascinating insights from our expert crew. 🌊

Explore Offshore Islands & Wildlife

The journey continues past the breathtaking offshore islands of Port Stephens. We will visit Cabbage Tree Island to watch playful local fur seals basking on the rocks. Keep your eyes peeled for friendly dolphins and diverse seabirds that call this marine sanctuary home. 🐬

The Imagine Experience

With a maximum of just 47 guests and 360-degree open-air viewing, you will enjoy a relaxed, uncrowded atmosphere with plenty of room to move around the vessel and capture the perfect photo. When conditions are just right, we switch off the engines to sail silently alongside the whales—a truly serene moment where you can hear them breathe.
