Just 9 km off the coast from Narooma, Montague Island (Barunguba) is a wildlife lover’s paradise and historic gem. Home to Australia’s largest little penguin colony in NSW, colonies of Australian and New Zealand fur seals, and over 90 bird species, the island is a must-see. Join a guided boat tour (or stay overnight in the heritage lighthouse keeper’s cottages) to explore the granite lighthouse, snorkel with seals, and enjoy sweeping ocean views. You might also spot migrating whales in spring.
