    Hinchinbrook Explorer Departing at 10.00am and 1.30pm daily during Whale Watching Season. This catamaran was originally designed to operate in the Southern Ocean waters of the Great Australian Bight. At 30 meters (100 feet) in length she is well at home in the local coastal waters of Port Stephens. She provides you with a very comfortable and safe journey. She has full walk around decks for viewing and large air conditioned indoor areas. MV Spirit Departing at 11.00am daily during Whale Watching Season (and additional cruises available during NSW School Holidays). This catamaran is smaller than Hinchinbrook Explorer at 18 meters, however this intimate vessel is still twin level, with walk around viewing deck with 360 degree views. Being the smaller of vessels you can expect to be still amazed by these magnificent creatures

Absolutely better than expected. Had viewed from land previous day, but this knocked my sox off. I'm sure the whales just had as much fun as I did

Easy booking. Punctual boarding. Good commentary & friendly staff. We were lucky we had perfect weather & saw quite a few whales blowing & breaching & they put on a great show for us so we got good value for our money.
