Today there was plenty of action out off the coast of Ballina and Byron Bay. We enjoyed breaching, comp groups, muggings & tail slapping on our Byron Bay Whale Watching Cruises at 8:00am & 11:00am. Conditions are looking good this week, so be sure to book aboard our Byron Bay Whale Watching Cruise.
If you are looking for a unique local experience and fantastic bird watching in Byron Bay this is the cruise for you. You may even see one or two of the beautiful kingfisher species or majestic eagles that call the Brunswick River home. Enjoy our tasty tapas including a selection of delicious produce as you relax and let the cares of the day float away. The licensed bar is open to purchase local Brookie’s Gin spritzes, beer including local Stone & Wood Pacific Ale, wine and bubbly. Soft drink and juice is complimentary. Return to harbour as the sun slowly sinks behind Mt Chincogan and see the lovely reflections in the river. If you are looking for a Sunset Cruise in Byron Bay this is the one to do.
