Thanks for a remarkable 2023 whale watching season!
Experience the thrill of whale watching on our upcoming tours, running from late August to November 2024.
Witness the annual southern migration of the Humpback Whales on a scenic 2-hour whale watching cruise departing from the tourism precinct of Hillarys Boat Harbour.
Experience the thrill of coming face to face with the majestic whales annually. From September to the end of November, these gentle giants can be sighted frolicking in the waters off the Sunset Coast.
The only Western Australian whale watching operator to have on board a marine scientist from AQWA - The Aquarium of Western Australia for live and educational commentary.
Get up close to the magnificent marine mammals aboard our air conditioned, state-of-the-art vessel and save precious time over slower vessels. Enjoy the best possible view of the majestic whales from one of our three viewing decks.
Take advantage of our large open deck spaces to capture spectacular close up photographs.
Snacks are available on board with licensed bar facilities.
