About the operator
- ADRK9200Well run dolphin watching tripSadly no dolphins the day ai went out but the crew, the commentary and the weather were fantastic. I managed to see dolphins just off the rocks at Blenheim beach that same day just by chance!
- Excursion6427282256900Great dolphin cruiseI had a great time on the dolphin cruise. The crew was very welcoming and enthusiastic. However, due to heavy rain the day before, the water in the bay wasn't crystal clear and we couldn't fully enjoy the view. From this, I have learned that it is important to obtain water and weather forecasts before planning a boat ride so that visitors can choose the best time to go.
- OnAir5093212557200Didn't recieve promised refundNot happy. Daughter and I couldn't attend the cruise with our family for medical reasons, contacted and was promised a partial refund. Never happened.
- M4341XQmarkh00Whale watching at Jervis BayThis was an excellent - saw Dolphins and Whales The whole family enjoyed the experience. Great Time
- Jan C00No Dolphins but A Relaxing, Scenic TourUnfortunately we didn’t see any dolphins but the cruise around the Bay was beautiful. The crew were very friendly and we even had a bit longer on the trip as the captain was trying very hard to find some dolphins.
- J7665SMmariar00Amazing experienceamazing experience to see those imposant animal so near. But be prepared that the sea is rough and you might get seasick.The crew is very well prepared 😉.
- B9996UFmariag00EmazingIt was emazing, we saw a couple of whale mothers with babies. What I have not considered to harm me was I got seasick. But the crew was excellent 👌 prepared.
- 838marjat00Not what we expectedWe didn’t see dolphins, it is nature so we understand that. It was a pity that there was no information during the tour. We go along the beautiful coastline and see some birds, it would be nice if they tell what are the names of the places and the birds. It was said that the tour is 1,5 hour. But we leave later and return earlier, so it was 1 hour and a quart. The weather was good and the sea not to rough.It is a pity that they give not a guarantee on whale or dolphin sightings as the companies in Hervey Bay do. It would be nice if you give your travellers a second chance to go on another tour.
- Caity342900Well oiled operationA well oiled machine - pity the whales kept eluding us as we got close, but that is out of their control! The staff were warm, friendly, attentive and funny. The boat was clean. They also have impressive facilities at the wharf. My 4 and 8 year olds had a lovely time, despite the wind, thanks to the staff.
- Marcus K00Sunset river cruiseHad a great time on the cruise, the weather was fantastic with the skipper informative and funny. The boat only holds no more than 20 people and arrive early to get a good spot. The boat plays music along the trip, with a playlist very similar to my own. I think it would be good to hire as a group charter
- SailorCaroline00Magical experienceProfessional and welcoming. Boat was well maintained. We took the 3pm 1.5hr tour. A little look around Jervis Bay then watched the dolphins frolic for an hour. Our 4yr old and 11mth old loved it. Magical experience!
- andreaD1967OK00Dolphin cruiseWell run boating adventure and we were so lucky to be accompanied by a school of dolphins for quite a long time
- 413ashleyp00Whale watchingIt was an amazing experience, we where lucky enough to see whales and dolphins. The dolphins where swimming at the bow of the boat we were so close.
- MaximaJo2100Dishonest not to cancel the tourI think the tour company was dishonest to take the boat out on 22 September. The weather forecast was for 25kn south easterly winds. From the moment we got on the boat the crew were telling us it would be rough and whales would be difficult to see. None visible in the bay. The attempt to go past the heads to “the whale Highway” in the ocean was completely unsuccessful due to the size of the waves. Turning the boat around was quite exciting. The tour should have been cancelled. The only reason it wasn’t canceled was because most of the passengers on the boat were part of a large tour group which no doubt would have been unable to rebook. No photos to load becaus3 nothing to see on this tour. Not happy Jan!
- 419kimberleyn00Kids loved it.Very friendly staff. Vessel was clean and safe plenty of space. Whales being wild didn't give big displays but we found them and the kids also saw a dolphin. Loved being out on the water.

We booked a Jervis Bay Passage tour for our family the night before it was due to run, totalling $185. When we turned up to the Jetty the next morning we told all the cruises for the day had been combined on a 'Combined Three Tour' (this included the dolphin cruise and net cruise) as there was not enough people booked on the Jervis Bay Passage Tour. The total cost of booking the dolphin cruise would have been $92. Speaking with other passengers on the cruise that had booked over the phone we discovered Jervis Bay Wild had decided to combine the cruises at least a full day previously, yet they continued to let us book online paying double the price required. We booked in good faith online (as suggested by their advertising) and ended up paying twice the amount. Having asked for refund in the price difference we were fobbed off by three staff untill we were told someone would call us the next day to sort it out. No call was forthcoming. In short DO NOT BOOK ONLINE, call and find out what cruises are running and how much you actually need to pay. Better still try the other cruise company at the jetty. We are giving two stars as the boat crew were friendly and professional.

This is the best of the options on offer and for good reason. Kevin and Chloe looked after us and offered great commentary - the sights were some of the best coastline on offer in NSW. Kevin got the boat into some unbelievable natural sights and Chloe even spotted a Sun Fish on the journey - a real treat. On the trip we saw dolphins, penguins, seals and the sun fish.
If you are in Jervis Bay this is a must!
Great value for money. 2.5 hours plus.
Take a spray jacket or jacket with you, can get a bit cold when the boat is at speed.

We booked our tour as a spur of the moment thing. It ended up being the highlight of our trip. The crew were fantastic, positioning the boat to get the best possible view of passing whales. The caves were a bonus - the style of boat meant we could get in close. Kevin was informative and obviously committed to giving the passengers the best experience possible. Great value. Will never forget the sound of a whale expelling air. Awesome.

The Jervis Bay Passage Tour was the highlight of our trip. Kenny is an outstanding skipper, he is highly skilled and managed to get us close to the spectacular scenery. Kenny and Richard are a fabulous team and their commentary was knowledgeable and very entertaining.
As we had perfect weather conditions we were able to cruise along the coastline taking in the towering cliffs above, it was breathtaking scenery and such an adrenaline rush.
Can’t thank Kenny and Richard enough, it was such an enjoyable experience for the whole family.

Our expectations were far exceeded!! There was nothing on this tour that I would change. The team were friendly and the facilities of the vessel were immaculate. We had only just left the dock when we were met by a large pod of dolphins who frolicked and journeyed with us. They were so close as they positioned themselves near the front of the boat that we could see their eyes. They frequently turned on their sides so they could see what was going on. What amazing animals! We journeyed around the Bay and saw the beautiful waters, beaches and landmarks of Jervis Bay. The Captain gave commentary when needed but then the team were readily available on deck to answer specific questions too. This was certainly the highlight of our trip. I could have easily stayed onboard for the afternoon cruise too. Miraculously we had a pod of pilot whales surround us. All up we had multiple encounters with dolphins, whales and birdlife.

I'm sorry to only give this tour 3 stars but this is a tour which can never have 100% 5 stars because to do that they would have to be able to control the weather. The booking process was easy. The skipper was a very likeable chap. The only problem was that we only got half a tour. We started out with lovely fine weather, but it changed and got very windy half way through. I guess they hoped it would hold but it didn't and it was too dangerous to continue, so we had to turn and head back before seeing the parts of the tour we really wanted to see - Point Perpendicular, the tubes and the pancake stacks etc.... That is all in the terms and conditions, so you just have to accept it. However, I was a bit miffed that we were just told that it might get a bit rough. We should have been told if we had cameras and phones out to put them away under cover because we took a drenching - it was like jet boating with waves crashing over the side of the (very open) boat and we got soaked. Fortunately I had the foresight to bring a towel and spray jackets... not everyone did. There should definitely be a warning on the website to come prepared to get wet and if heading into rough water the skipper should tell people to get prepared for that. He could see people had expensive cameras out taking photos and potentially they could have been ruined. In retrospect it would have been better to cancel the trip and refund everyone rather than half a trip - I'm not sure whether they had any idea that a change was on the way or not so perhaps that was not possible.

Nice staff when booking, cafe whilst waiting for the cruise, good clean boat, friendly and knowledgeable crew.
Commentary and good detail/history about the area and beaches. Really good tour.
Passage tour boat was undercover from the Sun however you may get splashed in choppy conditions.
Sit at the front if you wish to stay dry, at the back if you want to get wet.

My husband and I had limited time in Huskisson on our first ever visit so we really wanted to see as much of the area as we could so the Jervis Bay Passage tour was the natural choice for us. The staff, Brendan and Sonia were fantastic and really added to the experience, checking in with us often to see that everything was going well and sharing their knowledge of the local area. My husband and I really enjoyed the cruise even more than I thought we would and have still been talking about it days later. We will be returning again at some stage, with our children, and we will be sure to take this cruise again. Thanks for showing us the sights and making us feel at ease as we crossed the bay in such a comfortable and stable vessel.

First time to Jervis Bay and what a way to see it. Despite the inclement weather our boat tour was fun, a little exciting as we had some waves and picturesque. Everything you want from a tour. Thanks to Henry and Olivia for such a good time.

Is this the best cruise for seeing not just the wildlife but the Perpendicular Cliffs. We have seen a couple of You Tube posts in which the cliffs were in shadow. Would the earlier cruise (10am) be preferable to get the light right for photographs?
