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.
DECEMBER - APRIL
Choose your adventure with two unforgettable river cruises offered in two unique ways. Discover the beauty of the Northern Rivers by boat!
Settle into the rhythm of the river and explore the region’s waterways like never before. Out of the Blue Adventures now offers you the choice of two very different river cruising experiences — both showcasing the spectacular landscapes, wildlife, and golden-hour magic of the Northern Rivers.
Cruise the tranquil Richmond River aboard our Ballina-based vessel, guided by our Marine Biologist, where dolphins, rare birds and mangrove-fringed waterways await.
Or step aboard our brand-new sister vessel, M.V. Jasmine — Byron Bay’s only Mediterranean-inspired floating cocktail bar — for a laidback eco-cruise along the stunning Brunswick River.
