The autumn months are then spent departing from Fremantle to see the largest creature to ever grace our planet feasting on krill in the Perth Canyon, the Blue Whale. Our Perth Canyon Blue Whale tour is the only tour of its kind in Australia as we research and study their mysterious lives. Every tour is dedicated to finding, tracking, and researching the Blue Whales as we monitor this endangered species and provide guests with this lifetime opportunity of meeting one of the worlds wildlife wonders.

Winter is the start of an epic migration on both sides of our Australian coastline as the Humpback Whales begin their northern winter migration. Western Australia is host to the largest population of Humpback Whales on the planet as we see over forty-five thousand whales making their journey north towards the Kimberly region where they will spend the winter months breeding and raising new-born calves. The perfect sighting grounds for the northern migration are in Augusta where our daily departures are available throughout the winter months.

The change of season sights the beginning of the southern Humpback Whale migration as from September through to early December we see the whales making their long journey back south towards Antarctica where they will spend the summer months feeding. New-born calves are now a couple of months old, and the mother whales will bring their little ones in close to the coastline off Perth to rest before the next stage of their journey. Our daily spring departures from Fremantle and Hillarys enjoy the intimate interactions with the southbound Humpback Whales.

Our family’s history is intertwined with pearling and marine ecotourism industries with six generations of experience. Our core family unit continues to enjoy the privilege of spending our lives on the ocean and providing world class cetacean education and viewing for our guests.

Our family also operates Gold Coast whale watching tours during the Humpback season from May to October as Queensland is host to one of the world’s most remarkable migrations with over thirty-five thousand Humpback Whales making their journey along the eastern coastline of Australia. The ocean that meets the Surfers Paradise skyline is the perfect location to view this epic migration and meet these intelligent individuals while learning about their incredible story.
