We operate whale watching, marine wildlife tours and fishing charters in Merimbula, Eden and Bermagui on the far south coast of NSW.

This morning from Merimbula we found three active pods inside Haycock and followed them down to the Pinnacles. We could see other pods offshore of us and passed another two pods on our way back to Merimbula. Interestingly these same whales were found off Eden on our afternoon cruise. They were having a great time leaping in the north easterly swell 😀😀 There are still good numbers of whales coming down the coast. We were talking with a friend in Hervey Bay who was out on the water yesterday and there were still good numbers in Hervey Bay. We know that it usually takes the whales three weeks from Hervey Bay to Merimbula so we should be finding whales coming south for a few more weeks 🐋🐋 Next Trips: Eden -Thursday 9:00am & 12:00pm Merimbula - Thursday 9:30am Bermagui - Friday 11:00am; Saturday 8:30am & 11:00am Bookings can be made online www.sapphirecoastaladventures.com.au or by phoning (02) 6495 1686

Then this afternoon we found a wonderful pec slapping mum and breaching calf! Lots of fun to watch. This was followed by four lunge feeding whales off Leonards Island. This morning off Bermagui we had the challenge of choosing which whales to watch - there were so many of them😀 We decided to follow a mum and calf who were being pursued by three young adults. These whales were competing with one another, in fact they became so engrossed with their jostling that the mum and calf gave them the slip 😀. We came back out for our second cruise and headed north to where we saw a big splash upon arrival we found a whale logging on the surface🙃😀 We then headed south, finding an impressive tail slapping whale off Blue Pool.

WOW what an amazing morning we had off Eden today 🐋💙 As we headed out of Twofold Bay we could see lots of whales out splashing in the windy conditions. We were then mugged by three adult humpback whales for over an hour🐋🐋🐋These whales were super inquisitive and we were in awe as they circled the boat, spy hopping, tail slapping and rolling around. It is such a privilege to be eyeballed by a whale. 🙏 A very memorable morning aboard Bubbles. Tomorrow is forecast to be another windy day - already looking forward to seeing what the whales have in store for us!

Today was another incredible day of whale watching out of Eden. This morning we were mugged by a pod of four humpback whales in beautiful conditions. Then this afternoon blew our minds - breaching, head lunges and another fantastic mugging with some very friendly adult whales 😀 We found lots of whales on our morning tour from Merimbula all of whom were in cruise mode. Then this afternoon we found a pair of very friendly humpbacks off Long Point. We were then joined by another smaller whale and were lucky to have some very close encounters with this trio. 🐋🐋🐋 Tomorrow is forecast to be a windy day - whales do like to play in the wind so fingers crossed for a fun, action packed trip.

What a difference a day can make! This morning was glassy calm on the ocean. We found friendly whales off both Eden and Merimbula. Off Eden we had an amazing mugging with a pair of whales and also a pod of three. From Merimbula we found a pod of three and then a pod of four. Dolphins were sighted from both locations and it really was a most enjoyable morning on ocean - 🐋🐬☀️💙😊 Loving the friendly whales and muggings that we are lucky to experience at this time of the year.

This morning was a wonderfully windy day off Eden 😊 We sighted quite a few whales and dolphins throughout the morning cruise. There were also several Albatross soaring on the winds. This afternoon passengers on a bus tour from Sydney enjoyed time out exploring Eden’s coastline finding bottlenose and common dolphins, seals and a few inshore whales off the Pinnacles.

A great morning of whale watching from both Eden and Merimbula today 🙌🙌 There are certainly plenty of whales coming south past the Sapphire Coast at the moment. From both locations we were lucky to see a wide variety of behaviours and multiple pods of whales. From close encounters to impressive breaching and tail slapping displays today had a little bit of everything. A real reminder that humpback whales are the acrobats of the whale world. 🐋💙🤩 We would love to welcome you onboard and show you the whales.

This morning was a lesson in patience. Our land based spotters off Merimbula saw quite a few whales as we were heading out. However when we arrived they were hard to find 😉 Thankfully we spotted a few blows up off Bournda Island and when we arrived we found two very friendly whales. This pair of humpbacks circled and swam under the boat for over an hour. A third whale also joined us towards the end! This afternoon from Eden we also had an amazing mugging by a single humpback. We then headed off to a pod of four active humpback whales who showed us an incredible display of tail and pectoral fin slapping. A beautiful afternoon on the water. We would love to welcome you onboard and show you the whales.

Bermagui did not disappoint today - after finding several whales on long downtimes we found a pod of five whales who were super curious. Three circled us several times and then swam off. Then the other two came over to us and mugged the boat for over half a hour. A very memorable morning with numerous double spy hops and lots of amazing close encounters. Roger was exhausted from all the excitement 🐕🐋🐋🙃 A calm and relaxed day off Eden today. We found eight humpback whales throughout the morning all of whom were cruising south. We also found a Minke mother and calf out wide offshore.

This morning was an awesome morning of whale watching from Eden. We saw breaching, pec slapping, tail slapping and even had a mugging! Then this afternoon the winds dropped and we were privileged to see a lovely sunset, lots of whales and dolphins. The northerly winds were blowing this morning from Bermagui and we had a wet and wild time with the whales. We found two curious whales in close off the water tower before heading out wide to some very active whales. These energetic whales were breaching into the winds and breached and head lunged for over and hour 😊 Next Whale Watching Tours: Eden - Sunday 9:00am Bermagui - Sunday 9:00am Merimbula - Monday 9:30am Bookings can be made online www.sapphirecoastaladventures.com.au or by phoning (02) 6495 1686 (Photos 1-6 from Eden.

Perfect ocean conditions today off Eden and Bermagui. 🌞 We were watching several humpback whales out off Eden when a very large Southern Right Whale arrived and started to mug Bubbles. It was very interesting to observe the SRW interacting with the humpback whales. We then saw some beautiful breaching out to sea but when we arrived the breaching had stopped and the pectoral fin slapping had started 💙 Several pods of common dolphins were also sighted throughout the morning. It was great to be back out on the water from Bermagui. We sighted several humpback whales on the early morning cruise all of whom were very relaxed. We also saw a few pods of common dolphins feeding. On the second tour we found a very curious juvenile off Blue Pool who mugged the boat for half an hour. Amazing to see this young whale up close and interested in interacting with us. We then found a pair of fast moving northbound whales whom we journeyed with for a while before heading further offshore to find a few more humpback whales. A most enjoyable day to be out on the ocean watching whales 🐋💙 Next Whale Watching Tours: Eden - Saturday 9:00am & Sunset Whale Watch 3:30pm Bermagui - Saturday 8:30am & 11:00am Merimbula - Sunday 9:30am & 12:30pm Bookings can be made online www.sapphirecoastaladventures.com.au or by phoning (02) 6495 1686 (Photos 1-13 from Eden.

Beautiful calm conditions for both our Eden and Merimbula trips today 💙 The whales were very friendly off Eden this morning. Bubbles was mugged by three separate pods and sighted 8 whales throughout the trip. Lots of smiles onboard as we watched two pairs playing with seaweed 😊 Sensational headed south finding a Dwarf Minke as we crossed the Merimbula Bay, a pair of very sleepy whales off the Pinnacles and then a trio of friendly humpbacks a few miles offshore. These three were intent playing with one another but we were lucky to have them swim over to us on several occasions. We love this time of year with the inquisitive sub adults 💙🐋 Next Trips: Eden Whale Watch: Friday & Saturday 9:00am Bermagui Whale Watch: Friday & Saturday 8:30am & 11:00am Merimbula Whale Watch: Sunday 9:30am Bookings can be made online www.sapphirecoastaladventures.com.au or by phoning (02) 6495 1686

After a wonderful holiday in Tonga (will share some photos soon) we were back out whale watching again today. It was a beautiful sunny day in Eden and we did not have to wait long until we saw our first whale breach at a distance. This single humpback proved to be a little shy so we headed off to find another two different pairs of whales. We saw some impressive head lunges from one pair as we approached and then a lovely breach towards the end of the trip. Lots of seabirds and Roger was happy as a pod of common dolphins also joined us 🐬🐋💙 Looking forward to the next few weeks as the southern migration kicks into full swing 😊 Next Trips: Merimbula Whale Watch: Thursday 9:30am Eden Whale Watch: Thursday 9:00am Bermagui Whale Watch: Friday 8:30am & 11:00am Bookings can be made online www.sapphirecoastaladventures.com.au or by phoning (02) 6495 1686

We are currently taking a short break at the end of the northern migration and before the southern migration gets into full swing. Our family and crew are enjoying some rest and relaxation swimming with whales in Tonga. We have already been blessed with some incredible whale encounters and each day has been amazing. It is such a privilege to experience a small insight into the underwater world of these magnificent mammals. We will be back full of energy and inspired for another fantastic Sapphire Coast Southern Migration on the 21st August, 2024. Look forward to seeing you onboard this season!

This morning we were greeted by delightful dolphins as soon as we crossed the Merimbula sandbar 🐬🐬🐬 The water was crystal clear and it was so beautiful to see the dolphins zooming through the water. We headed north in gloriously calm conditions. After a long search we found what turned out to be two dwarf minke whales 🐋🐋 They were headed south and we were lucky to see them several times. We don’t often see these wonderful whales as they are usually quite illusive. Except when they gather in the Great Barrier Reef when they become very social. They are one of the smaller of the whale species and given that that we do not know the size of the population it is a joy to see them.

This morning we found a beautiful humpback mother and very tiny new calf inside Long Point 🐋🐋💙💙 Interesting we also briefly sighted a Dwarf Minke travelling with them from Long Point to Short Point. This mother was super relaxed and calmly swimming northwards with her cute little calf. This is the second new season humpback calf that we have seen born this far south this season. The calf was very new as the dorsal was still folded over so we gave them plenty of space. However this young one was swimming steady and strongly. We journeyed with them to Tura Headland before bidding them a safe journey and returning to Merimbula. Always a privilege to see a new life 🐋🙏 Next Trip: Merimbula Whale Watch: Friday 10:30am Bookings can be made online www.sapphirecoastaladventures.com.au or by phoning (02) 6495 1686

It doesn’t get any calmer on the ocean than conditions today. 😊😊 An absolutely perfectly calm day off Merimbula. Thanks to some land based assistance from a friend we found two humpback whales down off Haycock. This pair were very sleepy, with long down times. They were meandering southwards whilst we were with them. A quick visit to the seals near the bar and a feeding seal in the channel capped off a very relaxing morning on the ocean. 🐋🐋💙💙 Next Trip: Merimbula Whale Watch: Thursday 9:00am & Friday 10:30am Bookings can be made online www.sapphirecoastaladventures.com.au or by phoning (02) 6495 1686

It was great to be back on the water after a week of gale winds and large seas! This morning we found dolphins as we headed out near Long Point. We then found a single adult humpback whale off the middle of the Bay and travelled south down off the Pinnacles with it. It seems we are in the cross over period with a few late whales heading north and early whales heading south - always a challenging time! On our way back we found the dolphins again inside the Bay and stopped to say hello to the seals near the Bar.

Wednesday was a busy day with three whale watching tours from Merimbula. Whales were found across all tours. On our early morning tour we found a competition pod of at least four humpbacks out wide off the Pinnacles. Then on the next morning tour we followed a single humpback whale from Tura Head to Turringal. On the afternoon tour we headed south to find two large adults travelling along the rocks near Leonards Island. Ocean conditions yesterday were beautiful and it was an enjoyable day on the ocean. A big thank you to our land based spotters today for pointing us in the right direction!

Yesterday we headed down to Eden and had a great morning of whale watching. On our first trip we found three humpback whales, hundreds of albatross and a beautiful pod of Common Dolphins out wide off Twofold Bay. Then on our second trip we were super lucky to see two gorgeous Southern Right Whales 💙💙 inside Twofold Bay. They were super relaxed and inquisitive. These two adults were very tactile, touching and rolling around with one another. It was wonderful to watch these interactions. It is always a privilege for us to sight Southern Right Whales given that there are so few on the East Coast of Australia. Then on our back back to Merimbula we found a small humpback whale in Twofold Bay who unfortunately did not look in the best health. However we did see some good schools of bait fish in the Bay so hopefully this whale might hang around and recover.

We found a single humpback whale just off Long Point on our first tour today. We followed this whale up off Dolphin Cove, enjoying the calm conditions 😊 After a very grey and overcast day we were treated to a fantastic sunset whale watch. We found a pair of adult humpbacks out wide off the Pinnacles. These two whales surprised us all with several very impressive breaches 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀 It is always incredible to see a such large animals leap out of the water and into the air - lots of smiles all round. We were out off Long Point when we turned for home, the coastline was a blaze of colour as can back in. 🌅 🐋💙 Breaching whales and gorgeous sunset = 🙌😊💙🙏 Looking forward to getting back out there bright and early in the morning 😉 Next Trips: Eden Whale Watch: Sunday 8:00am & 10:45am (onboard Sensational) Merimbula Whale Watch: Wednesday 10:30am & 1:30pm Bookings can be made online www.sapphirecoastaladventures.com.au or by phoning (02) 6495 1686

This morning, thanks to our land based whale spotters we headed north. We found a single whale north of Tura Head but could see several blows out wider so headed out to them. These five whales were travelling fast - averaging 6-8 knots. Fantastic energy was observed and lots of time on the surface. Their behaviour was that of a competition pod, although it appeared that there were three large females and two smaller males who were jostling with one another. When we left them we were up off Tathra 🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋😊 A fantastic morning of whale watching 💙 Next Trips: Merimbula Whale Watch: Saturday 12:30pm & Sunset Whale Watch 3:00pm Eden Whale Watch: Sunday 8:00am & 10:45am (onboard Sensational) Bookings can be made online www.sapphirecoastaladventures.com.au or by phoning (02) 6495 1686

What a Day 😀😀😀 Today we departed from Eden and headed south searching for whales. We made it all the way to Green Cape and were heading back when we spotted Splitfin. Well, at first we were not sure what we saw, too small for a humpback whale, too large for a dolphin, a damaged dorsal. Then up she came and we recognised her as Splitfin. She is a well known Orca on the East Coast with a very distinctive split dorsal fin. She was headed south so we turned to journey with her, soon realising that she was accompanied by a large male. We travelled all the way back to the Green Cape Lighthouse before farewelling them as they rounded the point and we headed back south. Then another surprise as we approached Bittangabee we found the remainder of the pod. We counted at least four adults, one large calf and one very small new calf 💙💙💙💙💙💙 They were heading south also, so back towards Green Cape we went. Such an incredible experience to see these apex predators of the ocean up close. This is the same pod of Killer Whales that we sighted off Merimbula in June 2023 and it was so wonderful to see that they had a new calf in their midst. Feeling very grateful for this experience. Needless to say we were a little late getting back to the wharf. A special thank you to all onboard - you were great sailors and it was wonderful to share this experience with you.

This morning Sensational headed south to Eden to collect our passengers for a whale watching cruise from Eden. The ocean conditions were as good as they get - glassy calm, sunny and beautifully BLUE 💙 We followed three adult humpback whales a few miles off North Head up past the Pinnacles.

Today was a glorious day on the water, sunshine, smooth seas and no wind 😀😀 Again we were greeted at the Merimbula sandbar by dolphins and seals hunting salmon. As we made our way across the Bay we sighted several Little Penguins, Gannets and a White Bellied Sea Eagle. We found two whales in close just south of the Haystack. These two juvenile humpback whales were travelling quite fast and we journeyed with them past Short Point. They surfaced regularly and spent plenty of time on the surface. As we returned the dolphins and seals were still at the sandbar and we even sighted a dolphin chasing salmon up past the Marine Rescue jetty 🐬🦭🐋💙😊 Tomorrow we are looking forward to taking Sensational down to Eden to do a whale watching cruise at 10:30am .

We ended up 6 miles offshore where we found a pair of adult humpback whales 🐋🐋 This pair of large adults were very inquisitive and came over to the boat a several times.

This morning we took Sensational down to Eden to do a whale watching cruise. We found common dolphins and three whales off the Pinnacles as we headed down. After boarding our passengers we headed out, finding a lovely pod of common dolphins just outside the bay. We then found a single juvenile humpback that we followed north for a while before heading further offshore to find a pair of adult humpbacks.

Today we sighted our first Southern Right Whale for 2024💙 Humpback whales were found on all three trips today but it was this lovely SRW that made the day extra special. We were 5 miles offshore so we’re not expecting to find one. We get so used to seeing the sleek lines of the humpback whale that it is always a shock to watch the SRW surface with it’s callosities, unique shaped head and lack of dorsal fin 💙 Seeing one always reminds us of just how important it is to protect the worlds oceans. This magnificent creature was once seen in large numbers in the bays and along the coastline over the winter months. Now there are only as few as 300 individuals on the east coast Australian migration. Looking forward to taking Sensational down to Eden in the morning to go whale watching!

A busy day for us today with 4 trips out of Merimbula 😀 We travelled 6 miles offshore on the early morning trip to find a beautiful mum and last year’s calf who were quite inquisitive. We could also see more blows out wider. On the next trip we travelled a way before finding a pair of large adults humpbacks, one of whom was very flirtatious😍 She swam under and around the boat several times 🥰 Always so special when the whales choose to interact with us Our 1pm tour was a private birthday cruise and we found seals, a dolphin and then three lovely humpback whales. The whales even treated the birthday girl to a breach as we headed for home 🎉 The late afternoon was simply beautiful, we found three whales up off Tura Head and travelled north past Bournda Island. We also saw a very large whale tail reverse out of the water twice and then did not see this whale again 🤔 A breach from one of the three whales caught us a bit by surprise but most onboard were thankfully looking in the right direction 🤩 All in all a most enjoyable day to be on the water and joining the humpback whale migration 🐋🐋🐋🐋 Next Trips: Merimbula Whale Watch: Monday 8:00am; 10:30am & 1:00pm Eden Whale Watch: Tuesday 10:30am (onboard Sensational) We would love to welcome you on onboard.

Yesterday was another fantastic day of whale watching. With reports of whales down of Eden we were heading south when we sighted blows out wide off the middle of Merimbula Bay. We headed offshore to find a pair of very fast moving adult humpback whales. After watching them for a while we sighted more whales to the north. When we arrived we found a pod of three playing with seaweed and one another. We had some beautiful close encounters with this trio. The two whales we had originally been following then joined these whales and it was fun to watch the whales all interacting with one another. Two other whales could be seen tail slapping and playing further north. A great trip 🐋🐋🐋🐋🐋 Weather not looking the best for the next couple of days but hope to be back out again soon .

It is amazing how quickly the ocean can change in a day - today was perfectly calm 😀 It was great to back out on the water again. And thanks to a few land based sightings we found a whale off the Middle of Merimbula Bay. This single juvenile humpback steady and predictable and surfacing at regular intervals. After travelling alongside her for a while we headed further offshore and found a pod of three. The smaller of these whales was quite inquisitive and we had a few close viewings. We also sighted quite a few albatross and other seabirds before coming back to say hello to the ever increasing number of seals near the Merimbula Wharf 🐋 🦭 😊 We are back out again tomorrow: Merimbula Whale Watch - Wednesday 5/6/24 10:30am We would love to welcome you on onboard.
