The Experience - View All Details

Albany Whale Tours have been sailing the majestic Albany’s Fenchmans Bay sighting the magnificent Humpback and Southern Right Whales longer than anyone and have an intimate knowledge of the area.

The guided tour with full commentary will take you into King George Sound where you may sight seals and other mammals as you enjoy your morning tea. Sailaway sound footprint is very minimal and the Whales love to come in to investigate giving you unobstructed 360 degree water level views of some of the magnificent Whales, both Humpback and Southern Right.
