Barunguba Montague Island

Arguably the jewel in Eurobodalla’s crown, Barunguba Montague Island is a sanctuary for wildlife, home to NSW’s largest colony of Australian and New Zealand fur seals and one of the largest little penguin breeding sites in Australia. A wide variety of birds from peregrine falcons and crested terns to silver gulls patrol the skies above Barunguba Montague Island, while migrating whales favour its waters for the abundance of krill. Barunguba Montague island is a mecca for whale watching, seal viewing, penguin tours, scuba diving, snorkelling, seal dives, grey nurse shark dives, wildlife cruises and bird watching trips. The only way to land on the island is via the National Parks & Wildlife Service, who help maintain the island’s extraordinary natural features and Aboriginal history.
