; Dolphin watching

: Jervis Bay is one of the true gems of the South Coast region. Reputed to have among the clearest waters and whitest sands in the world, Jervis Bay has another very special attraction.

The sapphire-blue waters are home to dozens of bottlenose dolphins that have become local residents in their own right. Pods of dolphins frolicking about the shoreline are a common sight in these parts.

Take an exhilarating dolphin-watch cruise from Huskisson for face-to-face encounters with these friendly creatures. Tours come complete with excellent commentary, superb refreshments and many options such as twilight and sunset cruises.

On route to meet dolphins, you can take in the awe-inspiring cliffs of Point Perpendicular, the endless white sands of secluded beaches and other spectacular coastline scenery.

Jervis Bay is a recognised marine park and is adjacent to the magnificent Booderee National Park. It features stunning beaches, rocky platforms, reefs, extensive seagrass beds, estuaries and deep-water cliffs with caves.

The convergence of temperate and tropical waters attracts a great diversity of marine life that is fascinating to explore.

The majestic humpback and southern right whales can also be seen during their annual migration between September and November, along with seals and turtles.

The region is also a birdwatcher's paradise. You can meet many local seabirds such as the white-breasted sea eagles, crested terns, yellow-headed boobies, shearwaters, albatross and pelicans.
