Attractions in Taree – Dolphin Watching
A great attraction in Taree is Amaroo Cruises.
Dolphin cruises run most days at 10:00am (weather permitting). Cruise duration is approximately 2½-3 hours and includes morning tea.
There are approximately 250-300 resident inshore Bottle-Nosed Dolphins inhabiting the waters of Forster/Tuncurry. These local Dolphins are our pride and joy and seem to be as interested in our vessel “The Amaroo” as we are in them. They will often come over to the boat on what we call “Human Watch”, where they check out who is on board today!
Further offshore we encounter Common Dolphins, sometimes massing in the hundreds all as one pod. Quite a spectacle to say the least! Our Dolphin Watch Cruises depart MOST DAYS at 10AM from late November to May
These Common Dolphins are very active. Groups often surface, jump, splash and play together. Often they will porpoise or leap from the water, performing exciting acrobatic displays. They are among the fastest Dolphins in the world, reaching speeds of 40km/h.
The third species of Dolphin we may also stumble upon is the Oceanic Dolphin. This species is the largest of all Dolphins we encounter. Oceanic Dolphins can grow to 2.5m and weigh in at a staggering 200kgs! Oceanics are also famous for their aerial acrobatics and freakish speed.
We may also encounter a variety of sea birds including Ospreys, White Bellied Sea Eagles, Whistling Kites, Gannets and Albatross to name a few. Also sharks, seals, penguins and turtles are frequently sighted.

Cundletown and Lower Manning Historical Society Inc.
Come and explore the history of the Lower Manning Valley.
There are two buildings full of items relative to Dairying and Farming in days gone by. Items include butter churns and associated equipment, farming equipment, ploughs, hay rakes and many tools as well as an old house theme.
In our heritage listed Museum full research facilities from the Manning River Times Newspapers from 1952-2014 are available.
We had the best morning tea, with lots of varieties of cakes & slices! A well set out country style museum with lots of great pieces of history ranging from the corner store to the dairy. Being 45 and seeing old milk cartons, telephones etc that I grew up with brought back lots of happy childhood memories of my grandparents I had forgotten. The gentleman that was there was a wealth of knowledge and happy to chat. Would highly recommend a visit
