Albany Whale Tours

I enjoyed this tour and was lucky enough to have close encounters with humpbacks, southern wright whales and seals. The catamaran was very comfortable and gentle cruising and the crew were knowledgeable, friendly and provided a nice, light range of nibbles and tea and coffee.
The journey out of, and back into the harbour was quite long and so time spent out in the ocean looking for whales was short. If we were not so lucky to have the whales come up to us, it may have just turned into a nice cruise around the area.
I noticed other tour operators had much faster boats and were travelling greater distances than us, but they may have suffered in the rough waters.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone.

Absolutely brilliant tour led by Aaron and Sunny. They were informative and helpful in a very friendly manner that avoided the usual learnt spiels. If you are looking for a whale tour then definitely sign up with Albany Whale Tours.

Despite only 20min of whale action in over 8 hours out at sea across two days, it was still a very positive experience.

John and the crew were excellent on both days. The boat is spacious and the views are excellent.

It's worth mentioning that John's boat is quite a bit slower than the one of the competitors, so on the days when the whales are scarce, the other group will get to them first once the spotters give the signal. So if I went again, I'd probably try the other company.

The experience with John was first class though

Up close and personal whale watching on King George Sound, Albany. Sailboat jaunts with a gentle motor assist. Nothing nicer than taking morning tea on the net of a catamaran! The whales often come close to eyeball the gently drifting craft.
