"For nature enthusiasts, there’s a new snorkeling-with-seals experience at Montague Island (Barunguba) led by Sapphire Coastal Adventures. The small-group tours traverse the coastline between Bermagui and Narooma in Batemans Marine Park, four hours south of Sydney. The stretch is home to large colonies of Australian and New Zealand Fur Seal and Little Penguins, Grey Nurse Sharks, and nesting seabirds. Lucky swimmers may even glimpse a dolphin or whale gliding through the water."
"A national park island off Narooma where visitors can stay overnight in a restored Lighthouse Keeper’s Cottage and effectively have the place to themselves via tour-boat drop-off and pick-up. The island is notable for wildlife: it hosts hundreds of Australian and New Zealand fur seals and more than 90 bird species along its shores. Tour operators can arrange snorkeling with seals and guided visits to the lighthouse and penguin and seal colonies, making it a strong choice for wildlife-focused overnight trips." - SilverKris
"This offshore island is a magnet for diverse whale species and other marine life; visitors on sea trips here have recorded sightings of southern right whales, fin whales, Bryde’s whales, sei whales, blue whales and even the extremely rare albino humpbacks nicknamed Migaloo and Migaloo Junior." - SilverKris
