The "Big Fins" Scenic Joy Flight

Yep, we’ve got whales to show you! Ok, so they’re not there all the time, but during June to November, Jervis Bay to the south is a resting place for migrating Hump Back Whales (among others) who frequently pass the entrance and enter the bay to rest.

Now we can't guarantee you'll see any whales, but you will get to see beautiful Jervis Bay and Hyams Beach claimed to have the whitest sand in the world! That’s a big call, but we think it might just be true! It’s a beautiful place and thankfully protected by the Jervis Bay Marine Park Authority. Let's not forget the flight back up the coast to our base at Albion Park.

Even out of whale watching season this is an amazing scenic joy flight down the Illawarra coast to Jervis Bay, and back again!
