Specifically designed and built with dolphin and whale viewing in mind, the Amaroo’s three different viewing decks and an abundance of space mean you are assured to have an unobstructed, 360° view of all marine life.

There is comfortable seating inside and out, as well as a completely enclosed all-weather cabin with extra-large windows, allowing for maximum comfort no matter the conditions. To add to your comfort, we also include light morning tea onboard!

Our Amaroo is an Eco-Friendly vessel, built and operated with minimal impact on the environment. We are incredibly lucky to experience what the natural world has to offer on our tours, so it is only right that we do what we can to protect and respect our environment!
