Jervis Bay on the NSW South Coast in Shoalhaven is best known for its impossibly clear water, white-sand beaches, and rich marine life — but one experience stands above all others: the rare opportunity to enter the water and encounter migrating whales up close in their natural environment.
This is not a viewing-from-the-boat experience. Woebegone Dive offers a guided in-water encounter like no other, where guests snorkel alongside these ocean giants as they pass through Jervis Bay’s protected waters. The experience is carefully managed by qualified marine guides and designed to prioritise respectful, low-impact wildlife interaction.
Visibility is often exceptional, with the bay’s famously clear water creating ideal conditions to observe whales as they move gracefully along their migration path. While in the water, guests may also encounter seals, dolphins, fish, and other marine life that frequent the bay, making every experience unique. It is widely regarded as one of the most immersive marine wildlife encounters available anywhere in Australia.
To make the most of a Huskisson adventure, visitors can stay right by the coastline — falling asleep to the sound of gently crashing waves and waking to dolphins moving through the same waters at one of Holiday Haven’s parks.
Choose from two standout coastal stays:
Holiday Haven Huskisson Beach
Well-equipped cabins in a prime waterfront location make this park an ideal base for exploring Huskisson. Guests enjoy easy access to local cafés, foreshore walks, and nearby departure points for marine experiences, combining comfort with convenience in the heart of Jervis Bay.
Holiday Haven White Sands Park
Whether you bring your own caravan or choose one of the onsite glamping safari tents, this beachfront location is ideal for those seeking direct beach access, coastal walks, and a slower pace between time spent on the water.
Both parks offer comfortable accommodation within easy reach of Jervis Bay’s main attractions, making it simple to move between marine encounters, beach time, and the township of Huskisson.
