Ashnil Dixit. Went on the 2 hour whale watching cruise from Augusta and absolutely loved it. They lived up to their promise and got us super close to a number of humpback whales. The boat was super plush which was perfect when the kids needed to warm up or a bit of lie down.

Art L. A very well run family owned business. It was our first time watching whales and we caught it in June from Augusta. The crew were very knowledgable and cared well for their customers.

Little acts such as bringing blankets out to the bow and even helping with the vomit bags showed they really cared. We spent some time in Flinders Bay looking for groups of whales, while getting commentary on whale and other marine animal behaviour.

The swells were quite large on the day we were out, so be prepared and take some sea sickness pills an hour or two beforehand - it will make a huge diff! Beth Little. An amazing day on the Bremer Bay Canyon Orca tour, such a friendly professional crew. Jeff Rin Lee. Managed to catch a few glimpse of the humpback whales. Crew was super friendly. Would definitely recommend to our overseas visitors. Ashleigh Roddick.

Both times the crew were absolutely lovely, super attentive and extremely kind. You guys rock! Keith Hopping. Very professional outfit. Great Morning watching humpback whales. The boat is very comfortable and fast. We saw a mother and calf who put on a great display,breaching and fin slapping. Farah Sam. Highly recommend! Amazing hospitality by the crew from start to finish. They have vast knowledge about whales and we were informed on how whales communicate, where they migrate to, their habits, and more.

We spotted an amazingly beautiful mother humpback whale and her calf doing their thing. Truly an incredible experience. Jeremy Lee. This was a great day out and is a must do for locals and tourists.

The team are awesome and really put a personal touch on the day with their in depth knowledge. Plenty of sick jumps, water slaps and tail waves which got the crowd going. I almost struggled to get enough photos of the whales as each time I had the camera ready, there was another pod popping up!

The boat is super clean, well maintained and comfortable. We were cruising around 30knots and I could barely tell except for the wind. We had just under 2 hours to follow the whales around and watch them do their thing.

Edith Janssen. If you think you've seen whales because you've seen a glimmer of a splash, 10km off-shore or from a cruise ship, do yourself a favour- hop on this cruise and go and see them up close!

Jade, Gemma and the family made us feel right at home from the start and have a vast knowledge of everything you ever wanted to know and everything you didn't know you wanted to know! I'm not talking about splashes in the distance, the ships engine is so quiet that the whales hardly took any notice and came right up close!

Gemma explained each movement and we soon learnt that there were multiple pods of whales that were all slowly migrating south with their new calfs. This area, just off Rottnest island is a bit of a resting area for them so you literally get to spend over two hours watching them frolic around. There must have been easily over 30 whales - with countless spectacular breaches! It truly is an amazing experience and you really can't say you've seen a whale until you see them up close with Whale Watch, Western Australia.

Eugenie Gmx. Absolutely magical. The crew is nice and eager to show you how extraordinary whales are and share their knowledge. Kelly Hess. Took a trip this morning from Fremantle port, cannot get over the hospitality and attention to detail.

We spoke about it all day, the boat is clean and so well presented with refreshments. The experience itself was next to none we all thouroughly enjoyed every minute. We even stayed out a while longer to witness some spectacular whales. From start to finish I cannot recommend this enough.
