Your #1 Bucket List Experience
Naturaliste Charters brings you the world-renowned, full-day Killer Whale Expeditions departing from Bremer Bay, Western Australia. Witness the Ocean’s Apex Predators in comfort when you board our new state of the art 23 metre long vessel, the Alison Maree. We are located just a 2-hour drive from Albany and a 5-hour drive from Perth, with our thrilling tours running daily from December to April, as these are the best months to see Orcas in Bremer Bay from up close!
Other Marine Life You Might Encounter
On our Killer Whale Expeditions, you will have the opportunity to encounter not only the incredible Bremer Bay killer whales but also an incredible natural gathering of marine life. These include sperm whales, long-finned pilot whales, and the rarer beaked whales and blue whales. If it’s your lucky day, you might even come up close and personal with pods of striped, bottlenose, and other species of dolphins leaping in and out of the water! You could also spot the rare sunfish and different species of sharks, including the great whites, whaler sharks, and the stunning oceanic blue shark.
