Whale Watch Express

Join Aquamarine Adventures on our exhilarating 1.5-hour Whale Watch Express cruise, venturing offshore to the iconic “Humpback Highway” onboard Envision, our fast, fun and purpose-built power cat. Designed for those wanting an adventurous and intimate whale watching experience, our Whale Watch Express gets you offshore quickly, maximising your time with the migrating humpback whales as they breach, tail slap and play along the spectacular Port Stephens coastline.

Travel fast, yet safely and smoothly, through the pristine waters of the Port Stephens-Great Lakes Marine Park, where our low-to-the-water design offers an immersive wildlife encounter. Beyond whales, keep watch for oceanic dolphins riding the bow, Australian fur seals, and a variety of seabirds, while taking in the stunning scenery of the offshore islands and the Port Stephens coastline.

Led by an experienced and passionate crew, our Whale Watch Express combines thrilling adventure with fascinating insights into whale behaviour, migration and the marine environment. If you’re looking for a fast-paced, nature-filled experience with unforgettable wildlife encounters, this is the ultimate way to discover the magic of the humpback migration.
