Whale Watching in Coffs Harbour
Whale Watching in Coffs Harbour
★★★★★ 4.9 (36 reviews) ⏱️ 1.5h
The Jetty Dive FAST Boat Ride out means we usually see whales only minutes after leaving the harbour. If we see whales in the distance jumping, we can move from one group to another in a very short time, and not miss any action. The one and a half hour trip is mostly spent watching whales, not getting there. It is not just a Whale Watch trip, it is a fun adventure boat ride too! Mega Wild is Jetty Dive Centre's custom built Whale Watching Boat! Designed for maximum views and comfort, Mega Wild is Fast and stable. It has a fully covered cabin and an exceptionally dry smooth ride. Motors are super quiet when idling along with the Whales – not disrupting them or scaring them away! We get to the Whales quickly… spending less time getting there means more time for that amazing close-up Whale Watch experience! If we see some Whale jumping action elsewhere, we have the ability to be onto the action very quickly. Be prepared for a fun finale in the harbour on the journey home too!
