Enjoy whale watching aboard a state-of-the-art catamaran and reach Fremantle's whale grounds in air-conditioned comfort. Experience the thrill of coming face to face with the majestic humpback whales on their annual migration along the Western Australian coastline. Every year, from August to the end of November/ start of December, spot these gentle giants at play frolicking in the waters off Hillarys Boat Harbour. Enjoy the best possible view of the majestic whales from one of the catamaran's 3 viewing areas – take advantage of the large open deck space to capture spectacular close-up photographs. Relax knowing that whale sighting is 100% guaranteed and enjoy a drink or bite to eat at the onboard licensed bar. Benefit from the knowledge of a certified marine biologist from AQWA, The Aquarium of Western Australia, who will provide a running commentary during the cruise.

Depart Fremantle Fishing Boat Harbor and cruise in style on a purpose-built luxury vessel for a 7-hour all-inclusive whale watching experience.  A new eco hot spot off Perth's coastline is the feeding grounds for the largest aggregation of Blue Whales in the southern hemisphere. A little known pristine environment with gargantuan dimensions larger than the Grand Canyon with origins dating back to the entrance of the Swan River in Perth, Western Australia. Research teams have monitored Blue Whales along with many other cetaceans and mega fauna that come here to feed on krill created by the Leeuwin Undercurrent and the Perth Canyon topography. This interaction creates nutrient rich up welling waters where phytoplankton develops and an intense food chain for marine life prospers. This biodiversity includes Dolphins, Australian Sea Lions, Sharks, migratory Antarctic Sea Birds, Sunfish, and much more feed on this biomass bonanza.   Experts will provide live commentary throughout the cruise and answer any questions you may have. An underwater camera and hydrophone allow you to watch and listen to the whales in their natural habitat.
