Jervis Bay, located on Australia’s southeastern coast in New South Wales, offers an outdoor playground known for its crystal-clear waters and pristine sandy beaches. Within this stunning setting, Jervis Bay Wild Ltd operates the Summer Boom-Netting Tour — a lively and accessible water adventure unlike any other in the region. Participants board the Port Venture, a spacious flagship vessel designed for comfort and safety, before experiencing the quirky thrill of boom netting. This activity involves being gently towed in a large suspended net behind the boat, skimming just above the water’s surface. It’s a cross between a floating jacuzzi and an adrenaline rush, where laughter and excitement flow freely.
Unlike typical water sports, the Summer Boom-Netting Tour welcomes adventurers of all ages and swimming abilities, making it an ideal outing for families, corporate teams, or groups celebrating special occasions. The calm, sheltered bay waters allow even novice swimmers and those with limited mobility to join in safely. Huskisson, the nearby town and launching point, is a hub for outdoor activities and provides easy access to natural features including white sandy shorelines and seagrass meadows that sustain local marine life.
Jervis Bay itself is a protected marine environment with distinctive geological formations and thriving biodiversity. The area’s clear water, fed by sandstone cliffs and ocean currents, creates a unique habitat for dolphins, seals, and myriad fish species. Jervis Bay Wild Ltd not only offers an unforgettable way to engage with this landscape but also champions responsible tourism practices to minimize environmental impact.
Whether you want to soak up the sun, feel the ocean breeze, or share bursts of laughter with your crew, the Summer Boom-Netting Tour stands out as a creative, fun-filled addition to the local outdoor adventure scene. It’s a rare chance to enjoy Jervis Bay’s natural beauty from the water, all while riding the waves in a way few other tours provide.
