Whale Watching Season

Naturaliste Charters invites you to experience the breathtaking spectacle of whale migration along Western Australia’s South West coast. From May to August, tours depart from the picturesque town of Augusta, where humpback and southern right whales can be seen during their northern migration to warmer breeding grounds.

Flinders Bay offers close, reliable sightings and a dramatic coastal setting that makes Augusta one of the best whale watching spots in the country. From August to November, the action continues in Dunsborough, where Naturaliste Charters offers tours to witness the whales on their southern migration back toward Antarctic waters.

The calm, sheltered waters of Geographe Bay provide ideal conditions for viewing humpbacks, with the occasional appearance of a blue whale adding to the wonder. With expert guides, a custom-built vessel and a passionate crew, Naturaliste Charters ensures an unforgettable encounter with the wild. To book your tour, call 08 9750 5500 or book online here and get ready for the experience of a lifetime.
