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 Open Ocean Cruiser 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.
Over the last 9 years our family has spent more time in the Bremer Canyon than anyone, our family aboard on every tour, consisting of over 6500 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 marine 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 Orca First, Everyday.
Don’t spend an extra 1.5 hours travelling to and from The Patch with other operators – Spend it with the Bremer Bay 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.

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

It felt magical watching these gentle giants in their natural habitat, diving gracefully and then surfacing with such power and elegance. The whole trip was filled with excitement, joy, and a sense of awe that words can hardly describe.
If you’re visiting Perth, this is an absolute must-do. It’s not just a tour, it’s a memory that will stay with you forever.
Highly recommend this company
Cheers Terri
A selection of whale tours, including humpbacks, orcas and blue whales, friendly service from the staff who make you feel at home and part of their "pod", and a beautiful, comfortable ride upon their two storey yacht!
100/10 ⭐️
Be very aware of seasickness, I have never been seasick myself but I felt for those that were seasick throughout the trip. The staff are great but there is only so much they can do.
Highly recommend this trip.
There were so many viewing areas on the boat, the food was great and freely available the whole trip , and the staff were unfailingly friendly and considerate.
This is a world class, quite unique wildlife watching experience.
Above all, it is curated by a local family who have extensive experience with, and great respect and affection for these amazing wild marine mammals. We felt so privileged to spend time with the orcas of Bremer Bay, thanks to the Whale Watch WA family for making it possible in such a wonderful way.
Thank you to the skipper & his family for a wonderful trip that is highly recommended.
Ours was postponed due to bad weather forecast and Whale Watch contacted me via email, sent me SMS days without my reply. We were really lucky to join one 2 days later which was also our last day in Perth! What a spectacular end of our Perth trip from Singapore!
The boat is comfy, the crew is friendly and caring always look out for anyone who feels sick. We took seasick pills incl our children, the sea breeze at outdoor seating helps. My 6yo girl felt sick though and slept through thereafter to mk herself better. She'd have to watch those photos videos later on.
Interior sofa seating helps calm out nerves.
When we finally located the whales, they shared knowledgeable info about humpback whales. Really lucky the whales came real close to us.
Captain also drove near to the whales and stayed on to allow us to watch more despite time clicking close to 2hour mark.
We didn't know it comes with professional photos shared to us for free downloads post tour!
Saw pods of little humpback whales
Commentary was meaningful and whales were respected with good distance throughout the journey.
Amazing tour with friendly and knowledgeable crew. Being family run it has an intimate feel and didn’t feel like we were intruding or chasing the whales. A bucket list item ticked off and couldn’t fault a single thing. One piece of advice - even if you don’t get sea sick take anti sickness night before & morning off. Quite a few people’s days ruined by sea sickness. If you are well prepared a day out with these guys will be a day to remember! Thanks guys!
The team on board were great too! Checking in to ensure everyone caught sight of the whales and ensure those who were prone to seasickness were ok ???? nausea bags are available. Watching the whales from indoor was decent too as the clean window panes provided a clear view.
There are also colour pencils/markers and sea creature postcards for little ones to color and have fun.
Highly recommend this tour! :)
This was such an enormous happy day of my life. Saw beautifull whales and learned a lot.
Crew showed and told with Great passion about the whales lives and territoria.
Thank you crew for being part of my australian journey / holliday. Soon I'll be heading back to the netherlands again but I'll be back someday with my fam!!! That's a promiss ????????

Second time on whale spotting adventure and what a show!! Can't explain it in words....
I just fell I love with those big giants of nature....I thought kangaroos and koalas where amazing but please when you visit australia this is a absolute #mustdo.
Learn all about them. Be part of the POD!! Whale spotting west australia is in the top 10...top 10 best atractions in the world. It's an absolute nr1 for me. And I only saw just one small part of it 'the humpbacks' Go check their website and make sure you visit one of the tours available. Thank you crew / skipper again for this wonderfull day of pure happyness and joy
We saw numerous whales. Pods of whales. Sleeping whales. Playing whales and all up so close. The boat is so comfortable and roomy. The crew are amazing. So informative. So friendly and very knowledgeable about all things whales!
Would highly recommend this trip to anyone.
We were lucky enough to see multiple whales, almost the entire time we were out in the water.
The captain was very informative and loves talking about these amazing animals!
My friend and I went on tour on Monday, 25th October 2023 and we were fortunate enough to see this beautiful humpback calf breach and an adolescent male humpback playing with a pod of dolphins.
Thank you, Whale Watch WA, for an absolutely magical day! ????????
The team were extremely professional but friendly & knowledgeable. The right amount of people so everyone got the opportunity to have their experience.
We were so fortunate to take some amazing videos of a whale who was just as keen to see us as we were to see them. Such a majestic & magical creature ????
Both days were completely different and we were fortunate to have brilliant weather conditions.
Day 1 we were lucky to see about 200 Pilot whales and their dolphin companions on the way out to the canyon ..SPECTACULAR !!
The remainder of the day we spent following about 8 individual Orca foraging for food. Whist we didn't have that many close encounters as they were extremely focused on their search for a meal, it was wonderful to see them in their natural environment and the constant commentary provided was incredibly informative and added to the value of the experience.
Day 2 was AMAZING !!!!
Having fed the night or early morning before, the Orca were in a VERY Playful mood and entertained us for HOURS !!!
We watched as they played with one another, breaching, tail slapping, doing laps of the boat, singing, sharing food, gently playing with a large and magnificent Sunfish, before allowing it to safely swim away. It was a feast for our senses and so humbling to watch these Gentle Giants of the Ocean enjoy themselves.
There were pods of Orca visible in every direction and when they approached the boat they happily put on a show for us.
The Crew were FANTASTIC and go out of their way to ensure everyone is well looked after. There was food available throughout the day and a celebratory glass of beer or bubbles on the journey home.
The depth of knowledge and understanding of the crew about each individual Orca, and the different pods is shared with everyone during the tour. It is SO obvious how much this family and crew Respect, Admire and Love the Orcas and their jobs. T
This is a Bucket List Experience. Just Do it !!
We had our original trip cancelled due to adverse weather, But were soon accommodated on another boat for the same day. Communication was clear and prompt. On board there were plenty of crew, who all knew their role.
They had several spotters looking for whales, with in depth knowledge about them.
We found several pods of whales and got as close as they would let us.
A big bonus is that there is a professional photographer on board. He took clear photos, which you could download for FREE !!
Our 6 year old grandson loved it and so did the adults.
Can not speak too highly of the crew, they help elderly people to get the most out of the trip,
If you are considering a whale watching tour, you will not be disappointed.
The whole experience was incredible and paying extra to be in the captain’s lounge was well worth it.
We will definitely be coming back to WA to do more tours with this family.
They went above and beyond to make sure we were all comfortable and provided the most exceptional service. Would highly recommend! Thank you for an amazing tour today.
We booked a trip for January 2023, but 6 months out (in July 2022) have had a family emergency which means we will be in hospital the next year with a 3 year old and are not able to make it.
Even though the trip is 6 months away, they refused to give any refund at all.
It's rare that I leave a negative review but every other tour operator and accommodation provider was incredibly kind and understanding of our experience and this just feels like a money grab with no human consideration from management.
