Experience the magic of Barunguba Montague Island, voted Tourism Australia’s top eco-tourism destination and wildlife hotspot for whale watching, seal viewing, penguin tours, scuba diving, snorkelling, seal dives, grey nurse shark dives, wildlife cruises and bird watching trips.
Their large and comfortable vessels are fully licenced and surveyed by the Maritime Authority.

‘Dreamtime’ is one of the most awesome charter boats in Australia. The ride is superb, the amount of room on the boat is incredible.

You can also venture up on the flybridge and join the captain for the journey to the island or help find the whales.
