DESCRIPTION
Explore the sparkling waters of Broughton Island on this three hour snorkelling cruise from Nelson Bay. Broughton Island is found within the Myall Lakes National Park in the Barrington Coast and remains one of New South Wales’ best kept secrets. As you take off, on your adventure, be on the lookout for dolphins and Sea Eagles during a scenic cruise along the coastline.
Upon arrival to Broughton Island, you’ll anchor up at the stunning Providence Beach or Coalshaft Bay for a snorkel in the protected waters alongside rays, fish and docile webbegong sharks. If you prefer not to snorkel, there is plenty of time to take a relaxing stroll on the pristine beach or have a relaxing swim in the shallow waters. This intimate Nelson Bay cruise is limited to a maximum of 15 guests guaranteeing a special day out without the crowds.
Note
About 14km north-east of Port Stephens, Broughton Island is a part of Myall Lakes National Park. The tranquillity of the island is a far cry from the hustle and bustle of Nelson Bay town. Enjoy a scenic cruise out to the island before anchoring at picturesque Providence Beach or Esmeralda Cove for a snorkel in the clear and protected waters, ideal for families and kids. Broughton Island is home to abundant marine species, making the snorkelling pretty exceptional. If the underwater world isn’t your thing, sit back, relax and enjoy some ‘me time’. The dolphins surrounding the island are playful, curious and interactive so keep your eyes peeled. The region of Port Stephens is a premium destination for dolphin watching with up to 200 of them thought to be living permanently in the various bays. Snorkel equipment will be provided and helpful and friendly crew will be on hand at all times to assist. This experience is part of the Responsible range because they are ECO certified by Ecotouri.
