DESCRIPTION
AUSTRALIA’S #1 AWARD WINNING WHALE WATCH EXPERIENCE
Join Australia’s Multi – Award Winning WA family owned and operated Orca Experience aboard our purpose built $4.5M 25 meter luxury whale watch vessel designed for speed to the sighting grounds, just 19 nautical mile off the coastline in comfort, style, luxury & minimal travel time as you discover the remarkable Bremer Bay Orca’s.
Over the last 8 years our family has spent more time in the Bremer Canyon than anyone, our family aboard on every tour, consisting of over 6000 of hours of observation and genuine research, guaranteeing you the knowledge and education you expect from a dedicated, elite team.
Travel with the Bremer Bay Orca Experts!
Discovered by scientist’s in the 1990’s whilst completing tuna surveys but known to locals for many decades, we are your only local resident Bremer Bay Orca tour with more time and experience in the Bremer Canyon than any other operator.
Our vessel is the fastest to the sighting grounds (25 knots depending upon conditions), usually under an hour, which means we spend more quality time with the Orca than anyone due to our speed efficiency and half the travel time of others. We are on the Orcas first, everyday.
Don’t spend an extra hour travelling to and from The Patch – Spend it with the Orca!
Please note our vessel is fully licensed and surveyed to cover the Bremer Canyon marine park and all areas outside of this zone, including Hood, Henry, Knob & Pallinup Canyons. Due to the Orca being in The Patch 99% of the time, this area is just 19 n.m. from the coast so travel time in our vessel is quicker than anyone, which gives you an extra hour of quality time with the Orca.
