The trip to Barunguba Montague Island starts from Narooma. Narooma comes from the Aboriginal language meaning ‘clear, blue water’ which is exactly what you’ll discover in Narooma
Narooma is one of the most spectacular and picturesque towns on the New South Wales south coast, with a series of sweeping bends leading you to the stunning aquamarine waters of the estuary.
Around 8km offshore, Barunguba Montague Island is one of the most popular attractions on the South Coast. This island is pristine, unspoilt and surrounded by the bluest waters you’ve seen. Barunguba Montague Island Nature reserve is also home to penguins, resident seal colonies and has rich historic links to indigenous culture, Narooma and the South Coast boating industry.
Barunguba Montague Island is approximately 80 hectares in size and its lighthouse has been in operation since 1881. On your excursion you’ll discover the secrets of the island from your national parks guide who knows a few, they’ve been showing visitors to Barunguba Montague Island for years! All tours involve a 25 minute boat trip, and the same trip back again. On the way back you may see dolphins or whales which can extend the time.
You’ll see the resident Australian fur seal and New Zealand Fur seal colonies, and along the way you may encounter pods of migrating whales from around September to November, vast schools of friendly dolphins, basking sunfish, manta rays, or acres of pelagic fish.
Barunguba Montague Island is well known for its colony of Little Penguins. It’s home to around 10,000 pairs of them! These birds return to their burrows each evening after a busy time fishing in the waters in and around the island. This nightly migration can be viewed on the evening tour to the Island between September and late January.
