Great video clip opps!! - Did the two-and half-hour Jervis Bay Passage Cruise on a gorgeous day this week. Definitely recommend doing this cruise!! Captain Henry and Paula were great and gave both light hearted and informative commentary. Fabulous way to get some great video of the gorgeous beaches of Jervis Bay from a different perspective. They took us up close to the spectacular cliffs of Bowen island and Point Perpendicular so we could get amazing video of the ocean pounding the cliffs!! Even if you have been to the beaches of Jervis many times, it is well worth taking this cruise.

Was a good trip across... - Was a good trip across the bay, crew was entertaining and easy to ask questions if you need. You aren’t guaranteed to see dolphins as they are wild but the crew will try the best to find them, saw a big pod of dolphins going after fish in a bait ball Well worth it

One Dolphin - I was the only one who saw a dolphin (March 20th, 2026)! Everyone heard me exclaim when it jumped (classic image!) but nobody else seemed to see it. That was in the first 10 minutes and then no dolphins for the rest of the cruise. Captain did his best but couldn't find any-- apologized on the PA at the end. My adult daughter and I did the boom netting-- only 6 people on our boat chose this option but it is what saved the experience for us. The boom netting experience is sort of like a cold Jacuzzi. It provoked lots of laughter for those of us in the netting and the color of the water as it came under the boat and through to us was lovely.

Not great if you get stuck with a tour group. - The staff and boat are great and can’t fault them. We were onboard with a large tour group who unfortunately made the experience not great. Rude and pushing my kids out of the way to the point where we had to yell at them (even though they couldn’t speak English so couldn’t understand what we were trying to tell them). They were also trying to take photos of the kids and didn’t understand when I told them that wasn’t ok. The female staff member on the cruise that went in the boom net with another family and yelled constantly at the tour group no photos of the children deserves a raise!
