Abyss Project Australia

Wollongong Whales, Seals & Seabirds. Five Islands Nature Reserve Ecotour

Join The Abyss Project for an exclusive 90-minute marine eco-tourism experience around the spectacular Five Islands Nature Reserve just off the coast of Wollongong. Adventure, education, and conservation come together on this unforgettable journey aboard our high-speed research vessel, Bidjigal Dreaming. Spot Australian and New Zealand Fur Seals lounging on Martin Islet or gliding gracefully beneath the surface. Witness the power and beauty of breaching whales during migration. Watch native and migratory seabirds soar across the protected skies of the reserve. Discover a rich underwater ecosystem with high biodiversity and cultural heritage. Enjoy the semi-enclosed vessel with shaded seating, wide decks, and a rooftop crow's nest for panoramic viewing. This is not just a tour—it's a personal and purposeful experience. With limited group sizes and guided by a marine biologist, you'll connect deeply with nature and marine conservation. Whether you're a wildlife enthusiast, a nature lover, or just seeking a unique day out, this journey will be a seasonal highlight.
