This full day tour can be run on a day to suit. From historical fishing village Port Fairy we head out to the continental shelf, approximately 30nm off shore where the sea floor drops away dramatically.

A pelagic tour is a great adventure and one of the only ways to see some of the world’s spectacular pelagic seabirds and marine mammals.

Touring off southern Australia gives you a wonderful chance of encountering up close and personal our spectacular albatrosses, shearwaters, petrels, storm petrels and more. It is a great opportunity to see dolphins, whales, seals and other marine creatures.
