Discovered by scientist's whilst conducting tuna surveys in the 1990's but known to locals for many decades, we are your only local resident Bremer Bay Orca tour with more time an 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.

Let Whale Watch Western Australia do the driving for you to and from Albany to the Bremer Bay Boat Harbour while you sit back, relax and enjoy the Great Southern environment and sights. Your chauffeur will meet you at the Albany Visitor Centre where you will board and enjoy the beautiful journey towards Bremer Bay while your chauffeur will provide an informative and factual commentary on the pioneering history and riches of the Amazing South Coast.

Bremer Bay is located a just 2 hours from Albany in the pristine Great Southern region. It is from this small township we journey to the edge of the continental shelf to discover the apex predators of our oceans .. the Orca! 

Our team of marine specialists and scientists will educate you in the Language of the Whales with our live onboard commentary.

The entire 25mtr $4.5M luxury Open Ocean Cruiser is open to all guests, including our Captains Lounge (VIP upgrade) and is designed for speed and luxury as we get to the Orca's faster than anyone, which means more quality time on the hunt with our apex predators.

The Bremer Canyon is the feeding grounds of not only the Orca but also Sperm, Beaked & Pilot Whales as they hunt in the nutrient rich upwelling waters.

All of our research and identification data is provided to Curtain & Murdoch Universities along with DBCA and the Federal Government.

What our Pod members say..

One of the best experiences we have had! The captain and crew took pride in their vessel, and showed a great deal of knowledge and respect for the Orcas. We were part of a successful hunt, and witnessed the Orcas relaxing after a good feed. The information shared was educational and the overall experience...unforgettable. - Joanne Pick - 5 Star

A fabulous day out - the staff were friendly and efficient, the botanist on board was extremely knowledgeable, and entertaining with stories of the lifestyle, habits and personalities of Queen and her pod. The food kept coming, and we were treated to champers on the homeward trip! Thoroughly recommend this company - Vicki Grimston - 5 Star

WOW! Don't go anywhere else for your whale watching experiences! The team at Whale Watch WA is INCREDIBLE! We took x30 of our Ladies HQ members on board and they didn't skip a beat! The education, planning and care for the whales is just amazing. Can't wait to come back and book with you again :) - Rebecca Kelly - 5 Star
