Take a cruise on Jervis Bay to see dolphins and whales. Stay in Huskisson and you can swim, sail, dive, snorkel, bush walk, horse ride and more. There are also more passive attractions such as galleries, Maritime and Naval museums, Husky Pictures, bush walking, twittering, photography and lots more to do.

Huskisson is the gateway to Jervis Bay, a marine park and one of the world’s largest natural harbours, substantially larger than Sydney harbour. Jervis Bay is noted for its deep crystal clear waters and white sandy beaches, Hyams beach, Green Patch, Moona Moona Creek, Honeymoon Bay, Booderee National Park and amazing wild life both terrestrial and maritime.

Huskisson is a coastal village of less than 1 sq Km with an as yet character of unhurried life and an appreciation of the amazing natural beauty of its surrounds. There is plenty to do for all ages from great food to strenuous sports or simply lazing on one of the many white sandy beaches, galleries and museums, retail therapy or cycle along the wide cycle paths along the beach fronts, or take a cruise in Jervis bay to see Dolphins and Seals, Penguins, Whales (June to November) and an amazing variety of sea birds
