Augusta Margaret River Whale Watching - 2 Hours

Swap the wildlife doco for a real life encounter with Humpback Whales on this two hour Augusta whale watching cruise. Travel to the humpback highway for a front row seat to witness the natural phenomena of the pods of whales as they migrate north to mate. Pods of males are often sighted putting on a show for the female whales in search of a mate while endangered Southern Right Whales use the bay to calve and build up the strength of their young whales before they continue the miraculous journey.

Available from May to August this whale watching cruise is a spectacular way to witness the magic of human nature on display before your eyes. Join the captain with 360 degree views of the sea from numerous spacious desks on the vessel. Your Augusta whale watching cruise is made richer with a marine biologist onboard to provide fascinating commentary as you witness a number of common whale behaviours on the day. Whether it’s your first time or tenth time, no whale watching tour is alike. Scoop up your whale watching tickets this season, before they sell out!
