There are lots of great things waiting for you on Montague Island Nature Reserve. Here are some of the highlights.

Spring

New Zealand and Australian fur seals are at their peak on the island during spring, making this the perfect time for some seal-spotting. To tempt you even more, humpback whales can often be spotted along the coastline, and pods of dolphins come to play among the boats too – book a guided tour that includes whale watching for the best chance to spot this special sea mammal in its own environment From October huge numbers of shearwaters begin to arrive and nest on the island through the summer.

Summer

Soak up the summer sun on a guided tour of Montague Island and provides some of the best weather for photographs.

Winter

From late winter the seal colony on the island starts to grow. It can get quite chilly in winter so pack warm clothes.
