We had an amazing tour with WWWA, and would recommend it to anyone who likes animals and/or the ocean. It is great to see a family business that is so passionate and professional, educating the public about the beauty of our marine life. We paid to see a Blue Whale, which we saw within 80 minutes of leaving Freo, and stayed with for several wonderful hours. But we also saw hundreds of dolphins, a manta ray and a sunfish, which blew us away. The weather was perfect all day too, with the wind never getting over 6 knots. In my view it is the best wildlife tour that you can do from Perth.

Did the Perth canyon blue 🐋 tour. Unfortunately first time out no whales seen but where able to go again at no cost, as this company will continue taking you until you see the blue whale.. We did see the whales on a following trip and it was very close not just a fleeting glimpse but surfaced a number of times close to the boat. Staff were Excellent friendly and helpful, food on board was fresh and hot. Would highly recommend whale watch western Australia.

Fantastic day on the water last Friday, 7th Jan. Lots of Orca spotting. Such an epic animal to see. Super professional, kind friendly staff. Expert commentary. It’s a must do!

Beautiful family, attentive staff, plenty of sights, very well maintained boat. A wonderful experience.

This was our third trip with Whale Watch WA and as always we had the best time. The crew are all happy, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. It doesn't matter what the outcome - if we see lots of whales (which we did this time) or didn't get to see what we were watching for (which happened last time) we really enjoyed ourselves. They always make us feel as if they love what they do and if we don't see whales, it is their privilege to offer us another trip free of charge - they live up to their promise and make you feel good about accepting. We love this company and will be going with them again. We can't decide if like Steel Point more or the smaller more intimate boat. We can wholeheartedly recommend this company for your whale watch experience.

Great experience! The commentary was very informative and helpful. Beautiful morning out on the water with lots of mums and calves sighted.

Absolutely first rate tour - we went on the first Hillarys trip in the October school holidays for my daughter's birthday. The crew was awesome, attentive, helpful, and gave plenty of education/explanation about the whales and why they were doing what they were doing. Would completely recommend.

The crew went way beyond in service to everyone on board. The day was rough but that didn't fras the crew, they just went up a., Notch in helping everyone on board from very young children and their parents to seniors everyone was made to feel the best and comfortable as possible. Thanks guys. 👍

We had a fantastic time spotting a large pod of humpback whales off the Perth coast. The crew were as friendly as they were knowledgeable. Great commentary, explaining the whales' behaviour. The whales stayed with the vessel for almost an hour, which is perhaps the best indication that the animals are comfortable around the boat because the crew behave respectfully towards them. Will certainly be back!

Very relaxed day out, staff friendly lots of info about the whales and surrounding water ways, migration etc. We saw mum and calf and dolphins but they were taking it easy so didn't get to a much of them coming out of the water. But It was still fun and loved it. It is so cool riding up front on way to find whales. But my favourite was the dog (I think he was captain and looked bossy lol) with the uniform on , that made my day. Thank you for relaxing day 😊

Great company to go see the whales. Highly recommend it. Great staff and very helpful. Plenty sightings and free drone footage and photos. Definitely coming back to do another tour. Thankyou whale watch Australia

It was my birthday gift. First time whale watching. What a beautiful experience! Such lovely and welcoming crew. We really enjoyed the atmosphere in the Captain lounge, the learning experience and the complementary service. I definitely recommend and I'm looking forward to book another tour with them soon!

Excellent boat, well appointed, very clean and tidy. Lovely, helpful crew. We saw 3 whales which was wonderful and had more than ample time to enjoy watching and photographing these amazing animals. Would definitely recommend and would tour with them again.

A wonderful experience that words definitely can't describe or do justice to. This is a family run business, they are down to earth, welcoming, and passionate about what they do. Thank you to all the staff, it was a fun and educational experience. Michael and Hilda

Had an amazing time in Bremer Bay with these guys. Saw so many pods of Orcas and lots of seabirds. Great value for what you get, excellent boat (Huge), great food (free flow throughout the day-what a bonus!) And the crrews were so friendly and knowledgeable. Thanks Whale Watch Western Australia for letting us join the Pods ;)

I am typically meticulous when it comes to customer service/experience, given its a passion that has developed over my career. Many times experiencing impressive service but not to the point where I leave a Google Review. I can say for certain that Whale Watch WA has provided remarkable service. From the start to finish, every staff member ensured patrons are comfortable and enjoying their experience. They made it obvious how they differentiate themselves and take pride in being a local and family run business. Running their business for years, you can see they establish a genuine and quality relationships with the dolphins and whales. Two competitors continuously followed us during the experience as the mother and calf whale stayed near us and gave a wonderful sight to see. One suggestion I have is perhaps your top boat handrails could be wiped down as some felt sticky to touch and hold. In particular, thank you very much for the experience Leanne, it was extremely nice chatting with you and giving us an informative session. Will definitely be back for the Orca's! Merry Christmas in advance to you, your family and Whale Watch.

That was awesome experience! Very impressive, we saw many whales and dolphins. The boats was well equipped, very clean and comfortable. Specifically I want to recognize the amazing staff that always took care, made sure we are comfortable, helped with the kids. Don’t miss it!!

A real hidden treasure close to home. The boat was so comfortable and well set up to go out with kids. Nice touches to have the tea and coffee station to self serve. We were amazed by the variety of behaviours displayed by the whales we saw and learned a lot. The staff were so friendly and professional. Excellent value. We will be going out again to see the blue whale, what an amazing thing to be able to do!

Simply superb. Outstanding service and just immaculate viewing of these beautiful Orcas. Will be back for sure.

You will be warmly greeted by the crew and their sea-worthy puppy:) Wonderful experience with three pods of orcas spotted in such a short time. Was added to the group last minute because our tour with another group was cancelled. But guess that was a great blessing in disguise.

I had an amazing tour with whale watch Western Australia! They are super knowledgable and welcoming. You can tell that the animals are incredibly important to them and they do everything they can to not disturb their natural patterns. I’d highly recommend this company

Thanks to Leanne and the team for looking after my mother, she had a great time on board, humpbacks, dolphins and sperm whales, I'll definitely send her back next year. Thanks again Carl from Sea School International

David Kelly

Really fantastic trip, highly recommend this family run operation. They're incredibly knowledge and friendly. Our first day out the conditions were quite bad so they let everyone on board come again free of charge. Definitely go!

Catherine Phillips

A spectacular experience by a very professionally run company. The staff were very knowledgable and the commentary engaging, you could tell the lady commentating was enjoying her role, she was fab. It looks like a family company and they are very good at what they do. The boat was very modern and spotless. My photography skills are lacking but one member of staff was taking photos of the action which we were invited to download off the website later that day so I have some great pics of what we saw too.

Magnificent crew and vessel, breathtaking encounter with 3 humpbacks and a pod of dolphins. Highly recommended

An absolute privilege to have this unique experience with this knowledgeable and caring crew! These guys know what their doing and they genuinely care about the safety and comfort of the whales. It was absolutely amazing. Looking forward to another trip.

Did the Augusta trip and was not disapointed. They got us up close to sone hump backs. The crew had a genuine passion and were very professional. The boat was amazing, best vessel I been on. Would defiantly re book next time we are around, want to see some orcas and blue whales next. Highly recommend

Went on the 2 hour whale watching cruise from Augusta and absolutely loved it. They lived up to their promise and got us super close to a number of humpback whales. 2 hours was the perfect amount of time as well. The boat was super plush which was perfect when the kids needed to warm up or a bit of lie down

A very well run family owned business. It was our first time watching whales and we caught it in June from Augusta. The crew were very knowledgable and cared well for their customers. Little acts such as bringing blankets out to the bow and even helping with the vomit bags showed they really cared. We spent some time in Flinders Bay looking for groups of whales, while getting commentary on whale and other marine animal behaviour. Highly recommended. The swells were quite large on the day we were out, so be prepared and take some sea sickness pills an hour or two beforehand - it will make a huge diff!

Managed to catch a few glimpse of the humpback whales. Crew was super friendly. Would definitely recommend to our overseas visitors. ?

I've had the incredible opportunity to jump on board Whale Watch Western Australia to see the beautiful Humpbacks and Southern Rights in Augusta and the amazing Orcas in Bremer Bay. Both times the crew were absolutely lovely, super attentive and extremely kind. I 100% recommend Whale Watch Western Australia! You guys rock!

Keith Hopping

Very professional outfit. Great Morning watching humpback whales. The boat is very comfortable and fast. We saw a mother and calf who put on a great display,breaching and fin slapping

Highly recommend! Amazing hospitality by the crew from start to finish. They have vast knowledge about whales and we were informed on how whales communicate, where they migrate to, their habits, and more. We spotted an amazingly beautiful mother humpback whale and her calf doing their thing. Truly an incredible experience.

Jeremy Lee

13:35 02 Nov 18

This was a great day out and is a must do for locals and tourists. The team are awesome and really put a personal touch on the day with their in depth knowledge. We saw 30+ humpbacks doing their thing about half-way to Rottnest. Plenty of sick jumps, water slaps and tail waves which got the crowd going. I almost struggled to get enough photos of the whales as each time I had the camera ready, there was another pod popping up! The boat is super clean, well maintained and comfortable. We were cruising around 30knots and I could barely tell except for the wind. We had just under 2 hours to follow the whales around and watch them do their thing. 10/10 would recommend

If you think you've seen whales because you've seen a glimmer of a splash, 10km off-shore or from a cruise ship, do yourself a favour- hop on this cruise and go and see them up close ! ! ! Jade, Gemma and the family made us feel right at home from the start and have a vast knowledge of everything you ever wanted to know (and everything you didn't know you wanted to know!) 15 minutes into the cruise and all of a sudden, there were whales everywhere ! I'm not talking about splashes in the distance, the ships engine is so quiet that the whales hardly took any notice and came right up close ! Gemma explained each movement and we soon learnt that there were multiple pods of whales that were all slowly migrating south with their new calfs. This area, just off Rottnest island is a bit of a resting area for them so you literally get to spend over two hours watching them frolic around. There must have been easily over 30 whales - with countless spectacular breaches! It truly is an amazing experience and you really can't say you've seen a whale until you see them up close with Whale Watch, Western Australia. - This is one of the best places in the world to see them up close!

Absolutely magical. The crew is nice and eager to show you how extraordinary whales are and share their knowledge.

Took a trip this morning from Fremantle port, cannot get over the hospitality and attention to detail. We spoke about it all day, the boat is clean and so well presented with refreshments. The experience itself was next to none we all thouroughly enjoyed every minute. We even stayed out a while longer to witness some spectacular whales. From start to finish I cannot recommend this enough. The girls on board were so friendly and really had a passion for what they spoke about. Thank you so much for our enjoyable morning!

Excellent experience.(Augusta) Respect shown to the whales by not getting too close and alowing them to come to the boat. Saw so many we lost count including a baby calf. A true family venture Thank you so much

Simon Thomas

I've been whale watching a few times before but my latest tour with Whale Watch Western Australia really took my breath away! The boat was incredibly luxurious (looked to be the nicest of all the competition), the staff were so passionate with their commentary and they clearly had a huge amount of respect for the Whales. Will definitely be coming again soon!

Jenny Squire

12:09 18 Feb 18

Wonderful day spent looking at Orcas today!!. We had the very best service and experience from the crew. They were all informative, friendly and helpful have recommend your cruise to friends already. Fabulous that the photos taken on the day by crew are shared to further enrich our experience. Thank you.

Had a wonderful time at Whale Watch WA last week. The staff, the commentary and the way they treat the whales is just amazing. We left from Fremantle jetty, exactly at 9 and within minutes we had dolphins racing the boat. Within another few minutes, the crew spotted 2 or 3 whale pods - too good, as i thought we may have to go around looking for some time. We could see a calf breaching many times from a distance, but as soon as the boat got close, the whales started moving away. Of course this is no fault of Whale Watch WA - this is nature. They were very respectful to the whales and only approached them very quietly. The crew were very helpful and gave us a very good commentary about the whale's behavior patterns etc. Though we couldn't get very close to the whales (as probably what i pictured in my mind before going... too many Attenborough documentaries :-) ) - it was totally worth it. In the end, we got close enough to literally hear the whale breath. Overall, top notch service, very well maintained boat, comfortable ride (because it's a catamaran, i think) and superb staff. I don't think there is a better whale watch tour group in Perth. 7 stars.
