The boat slips away from Huskisson and the bay opens like a cool, clear pool; turquoise water pushes at the hull while white sand glows along long beaches. Seabirds wheel and a pod of dolphins often appears, arcing through the wake as the cliffs of Point Perpendicular rise, sheer and raw, into the wind.

The boat slips away from Huskisson and the bay opens like a cool, clear pool; turquoise water pushes at the hull while white sand glows along long beaches. Seabirds wheel and a pod of dolphins often appears, arcing through the wake as the cliffs of Point Perpendicular rise, sheer and raw, into the wind.
This stretch of coast sits on land traditionally cared for by the Yuin people and later became a focus for colonial navigation and coastal industry—lighthouses and ship channels shaped local routes. Geologically, Jervis Bay combines fine silica sand—the reason Hyams Beach is famous for its brightness—with older coastal headlands carved by waves and wind. The marine park protects seagrass beds, reefs and a diverse bird population; culture here mixes small-town Huskisson hospitality with Booderee National Park’s Aboriginal-managed reserves.
On a two-hour passage you’ll hear live commentary about landmarks, wildlife and seasonal changes; the captain points out sandpipers on exposed flats and white-bellied sea eagles perched above the cliffs. In whale season (mid‑May to mid‑November) keep binoculars ready.
Practical guide: tours depart twice daily, boarding 15 minutes before departure; wear layers and a windproof jacket, bring sun protection and a camera, and plan on mostly seated viewing with short walk-on/offs at the jetty. If you get seasick, take preventative medication ahead of time. Respect the marine park—stay on board to view sensitive wildlife, and follow crew instructions for a safe, low-impact trip.
