This winter, encounter pods of energetic dolphins and majestic whales along the rugged southern coastline of Phillip Island. Departing San Remo, this three hour cruise will take passengers on a scenic journey past the cliffs and caves of Cape Woolamai as you search for whales on their annual migration past the Australian coast.

Keep your eyes on the horizon to spot some of the key whale behaviours including the telltale blow, smooth footprints in the water or glimpses of tail slaps, dorsal fins and epic breaches that launches the whales out of the water. Bottlenose dolphins can also be found playing alongside the boat as you venture out to sea. Stay warm with a complimentary tea and coffee and delicious afternoon tea served throughout the cruise.
