About this activity
Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: King George Sound, Albany, Western Australia 6330 Australia
From around May to October, Humpback, Southern Right and occasionally rare Blue Whales can be seen in Albany’s waters where they frolic, mate and calve. Dolphins and seals can be seen all year round. Seeing whales is our priority on this Safari.
Albany's waters are steeped in history. Imagine what it would have been like when the first explorers arrived as early as 1627 or when the first ANZAC troops departed Albany for WWI in 1914. Cast yourself back in time to the days of the old whaling ships and see the old Whaling Station and a shipwrecked Whale Chaser, the Cheynes II which broke its moorings and ran aground. It’s incredible to view up close and a photographers favourite.
We pass Camp Quaranup, an old quarantine station and navigate through Ataturk Channel, past Point King Lighthouse and Point Possession. View the ANZAC Centre on Mount Clarence from the sea. Out in King George Sound you’ll gaze in awe at the beautiful turquoise waters of Mistaken Island. Pristine white beaches that can be seen include Brambles, Whaling Cove/Fisheries (local nudist beach), Ledge, Gull Rock, Goodes and Middleton Beach.
Duration: 3 hours
