Marine Wildlife Adventures

Home

Marine Wildlife Adventures lead unique cruises to remote parts of the Australian continent documenting spectacular wildlife.

We began leading trips to look at whales and dolphins off the southeast coast of Australia and this soon grew into a data gathering exercise, revealing the region's previously unknown natural wealth. Off southeast Australia alone we have recorded over a dozen species. Add to that trips to look at Blue Whales off Victoria, seabird trips off Tasmania and the first surveys of seabirds in the Coral Sea, we began to realise that there was a serious lack of baseline information on our own environment just beyond the horizon we can see from land.

"Despite being remote, the marine environment need not be out of reach of the public"

Marine Wildlife Adventures is run by Simon Mustoe, a consultant and has advised conservation groups, governments and industry on development and management of the marine environment. There is a huge gap in knowledge of the marine environment but also between the scientists who study it, and the general public. Despite being remote, the marine environment need not be out of reach of the public.

Marine Wildlife Adventures has grown from this philosophy. Each of our trips takes people to places rarely if ever explored and we always find something interesting. Every trip is different and eveyone goes away with a new fascination and appreciation of the marine environment, often through their own photographs and accounts of their experience.

"Each of our trips is led by and / or attended by marine scientists with an infectious enthusiasm for wildlife"

Each of our trips is led by and / or attended by marine scientists with an infectious enthusiasm for wildlife and data is collected and contributed to conservation. Promoting the experience and an understanding of our planet's less well known citizens is one way we can help raise the profile of these outstanding areas.
