5.Jervis Bay: 2-Hour Cruise of Jervis Bay Passage

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 97 reviews · 2 hours · from $63

Spend two hours on Jervis Bay with an English-speaking skipper, taking in Point Perpendicular, Hyams Beach and clear coastal water. Watch for bottlenose dolphins, seabirds and other marine life. Skippers such as Henry have earned praise for their local insight, but routes can change with weather and sea conditions.

“Henry is a fantastic, experienced skipper & facilitator. He provided the tour to cover off Point Perpendicular, which was in the package. This is the 5th tour I have experienced and paid for within this year. I bring my visitors to the tour as it worth the experience. The last tour Henry delivered. The tour prior, the skipper did not venture over to Point Perpendicular, which was slightly disappointing as I wanted to show my friends that part of Jervis Bay.”
