Snorkelling Jervis Bay

Snorkelling is a fun, relaxing and exciting activity that allows you to become a part of a fascinating underwater world. Each snorkelling experience provides opportunities to explore, learn and grow as you begin to understand the complex relationships occurring in the marine ecosystems encountered.

Jervis Bay is an expansive oceanic bay fringed with stunning white sand beaches and pristine native bushland. The bay is peppered with rocky outcrops/headlands and walking trails that provide convenient access to an abundance of shallow temperate water reefs that are teaming with life. Many of these reefs are protected from fishing as they form parts of the Jervis Bay Marine Park. As a result, these areas are a delight for underwater observers as they are bursting with life. To add to the allure of Jervis Bay is the consistent presence of crystal clear water, shelter from most prevailing weather and very forgiving water temperatures. Considering all of the above, it is fair to say Jervis Bay is the perfect place to begin your snorkelling journey.

Australia's Coastal Wilderness Adventures have extensive knowledge of dive sites, weather, marine life and snorkelling techniques, and will ensure you have a safe, enjoyable and insightful experience.

Beowa National Park Explorer

The Beowa National Park Explorer is a great way to unwind while getting off the beaten track. Along with a great snorkelling experience, you can take the time to explore some of the land-based attractions Bewoa National Park has to offer over the course of a memorable day. In the water, you can expect to encounter resident Wobbegong Sharks, Port Jackson Sharks (friendly sharks) and graceful Eagle Rays. Along with a myriad of other fascinating marine life. Due to its relatively narrow opening to the sea, Bittangabee Bay offers a high level of protection from the forces of the ocean. As such, the conditions within Bittangabee Bay are often clear and calm, making for perfect snorkelling. On the land, it is not uncommon to encounter some of Australia’s most iconic wildlife such as Kangaroos, Wallabies, Wombats, Goannas, White Bellied Sea Eagles and the ever-entertaining Superb Lyre Bird to name a few. As a part of the Bewoa National Park Explorer, your guide will stop at Disaster Bay Lookout and Greencape Light Station. Both sites offer spectacular coastal views and world-class land-based whale-watching opportunities. A healthy homemade light lunch and refreshments are also provided.
