Description

Breathe in that salty breeze and get ready for a proper adventure on Geographe Bay with Dunsborough Whale Watching Eco Tours. You'll hop on board the Alison Maree, a roomy 23-metre catamaran, cruising straight from the Professional Fishermen's Boat Ramp in Quindalup. Keep your eyes peeled for migrating Humpback, Southern Right, Blue and Minke Whales as they make their annual journey south right beside you.

This isn't just about the big whales; dolphins, New Zealand Fur Seals and all sorts of seabirds love to swing by for a stickybeak. The crew are experts, so expect plenty of laughter, local tales and marine trivia as you wander between comfy inside spots and fresh open decks.

Tours roll daily at 10:00am and 2:00pm from late August to November, each cruise giving you 2 to 2.5 hours out on the water. You'll kick things off with a sandy feet special: a tender transfer from the beach straight onto Alison Maree, with the crew making sure everyone hops aboard safely; being early (30 minutes ahead) is a must.

Whale sightings usually deliver, but just in case the stars aren't aligned, the Naturaliste Charters no whale sighting policy has your back. Top it all off with 15% off food at Occy's or Southcamp in Dunsborough after your cruise-just flash your tour confirmation. Too easy.
