The Sapphire Coast is home to an incredible diversity of marine life, with the waters off Narooma, Bermagui, Tathra, Merimbula and Eden recognised as one of the best regions for wildlife cruises in New South Wales.
Influenced by the nearby continental shelf, this marine environment is rich in nutrients and supports a thriving ecosystem all year round. From calm coastal bays to deeper offshore waters, the changing conditions create the perfect habitat for a wide variety of marine species.
Wildlife cruises on the Sapphire Coast operate year round, with departures from Eden and Merimbula, offering one of the best things to do in the region outside of whale watching season. Regular sightings include common and bottlenose dolphins, Australian fur seals and a wide range of seabirds, with opportunities to also encounter penguins, turtles, flying fish, sunfish and other seasonal marine life.
Every wildlife cruise in Eden and Merimbula is shaped by the conditions on the day, making each experience a unique one.
