What a wonderful and unforgettable orca tour at Bremer Bay. We have seen the Orcas from so close, even jumping - would do it again 100%, even if the sea was pretty ruff that day.

Had a blast. Take some anti-nausea before boarding; water is very choppy. Great service. Orcas were beautiful.

We really enjoyed the experience. We were fortunate enough to have great weather and got to see orca's from a number of pod families. A couple of young ones even came right up to the boat. The crew were friendly and welcoming, we highly recommend this experience to everyone.

We celebrated my husbands 50th with this gift from friends. I can't applaud the staff enough for making this such a memorable experience. From the extensive informative commentary, to an amazing service from staff. The Orcas put on an outstanding show of nature at its best. Definitely a bucket list experience thank you Scott and Nicki

What a great tour and experience out of Bremer Bay with Whale Watch WA. The commentary was great and learnt so much and the friendliness and service by the crew amazing.Then there were the orcas who while quietly in stealth mode were just beautiful to watch. Thank you!

Extremely professional and courteous staff who made a genuine effort to look after guests. A sensational day on the water with a great number of opportunities to observe the orca’s in close proximity

On the 9th February, the day was overcast and mysterious. The smiling friendly staff welcomed us warmly. As the crowd gathered, the anticipation and excitement was almost overwhelming. At last we were led aboard the magnificent Research vessel and directed to take our seats. Johnno and I chose the upper level. Soon the Captain employed the engines and the vessel turned towards the open sea. Leaving the harbour behind, the ocean was benign and rocked us gently on our journey to the Bremer trench. Before long pilot whales appeared around the boat, and then the moment came that we had all been waiting for, Orcas, all around us, large, small, family groups and singly. Cameras were running hot with people moving from one side to the other to get the best shots of Orcas swimming under the boat. It was an unforgettable electrifying emotional experience. Adding to that, the happy helpful staff were wonderful, nothing was ever too much trouble. Everyone should take this tour at least once in their lives. We haven't stopped singing your praises. THANK YOU ALL. Lynn & Johnno

Amazing experience, I have never been so sick (sea) before. The crew is so wonderful in handling it, they look after you and really care. The one thing I recommend: take the damn tablets for seasickness!!!! Don't spoil your experience because you think you can handle it.Seeing the Orcas was a long dream of mine and well worth the trip. The water is so clear, you cann see them dive under and around the boat, right next to you. They are wonderful and intelligent creatures and I felt truly blessed witnessing them in their natural habitat and seeing how happy they are. Have learnt so much about them. If you have any interest in them and whales in general, this tour won't disappoint!

My partner Les Lindsay and I had wanted to see Orcas in their own habitat after reading of their existence in the Bremer Bay Canyon.We were so very lucky to had chosen the family owned - Whale Watch Bremer Bay - aboard the big white catamaran on February the 21st 2023.We departed on time with 5 professional people all in uniform who took great care of us from 8am to 3pm in tricky conditions and shared a wealth of knowledge once the Orca Family were located.The facility, food and friendly staff made our day not to mention the expert commentary from Leanne offering in depth detail about the killer whale pod we watched whilst hunting, surfing and playing for hours at very close quarters.We seldom review but give credit when it’s due !!Les & Toni from Trigg

Absolutely incredible to see Orca in the wild, a dream come true!I was unfortunately hit hard by seasickness but the crew were amazing in caring for myself and others, their newest recruit in particular was very kind.It was definitely still worth it and I would love to return again in future when my sea legs are ready.

An absolutely amazing experience!! This was my 40th birthday present from my family and it was the BEST experience I could have wished for. The tour is operated by lovely people who are warm, friendly and inviting…you really feel like part of something special, we could not have asked for more! We saw plenty of killer whales, dolphins, sea lions and birds.

The best experience ever!!! ... but pack seasick tablets hahaFrom start to finish, the crew was just awesome. The ocean was pretty rough on the way out and two of my friends got hit pretty hard with sea sickness. All of the crew members were so helpful! Once we were out in the ocean (after 1.5h), we saw the first orcas and it was so worth it. We had so much time out there with them and it was magical. There was plenty of food and drinks if you weren't sea sick.Highly recommend this specific tour!!!

What a fantastic day. The crew are cheerful, very knowledgeable about the orca, and go out of their way to look after you. The orca sighting guarantee is fantastic - if you don't see orca, you get to come back again for free, even if you do see other whales - but on the day I went we were absolutely surrounded by them. It's an amazing experience and I thoroughly recommend it.

I was initially expecting to just see some orca fins and the tops of their heads intermittently, but was surprised at how much I learnt and saw. So worth it - highlight of my WA trip! The crew were so attentive and kind. The lady providing commentary was so informative and interesting. The boat was comfortable. Snacks, fruits, sausage rolls, toasties, and teas/coffees were provided on board. Saw over 20 orcas today and they came so close! I will definitely be back.

My boyfriend and I went on this tour and it was honestly the most amazing experience. You’re so well fed throughout the day and the boat is comfortable and spacious - in no way do you feel on top of people in the slightest like I have had on some boat tours. We were lucky to see a couple of pods when we were out there and the whole time someone is telling you all about the whales via a speaker (which was super clear and they knew so much). I am prone to sea sickness in open seas and I would recommend prepping for this beforehand (I took tablets and wore a sea band). Luckily I didn’t get sick in the end but I know some people were and I could see how much the crew looked after them to make sure they were comfortable. Highly recommend and hopefully I can do it again sometime… thanks for such a great time!

Although I spent half of the trip unwell with motion sickness - the boat rocks A LOT! - it was an enjoyable experience. Seeing the orcas was truly magical. Every single staff member was caring and understanding, and went above and beyond to support all the passengers who were unwell. They were absolutely beautiful!

We had the pleasure of joining this family run business on Wed 9 March and would like to thank every staff member for their friendly and professional service. Everything about our day was informative, friendly, and showed great knowledge and respect of the Orca and it’s habitat. It was an awesome experience. All staff showed a real love of their job, their customers and their beloved Orca families. Nothing was too much trouble for any of them. Thank you all so much 💙 Highly recommend !

Above and beyond expectations. Saw a pod on the hunt, swimming full speed for at least half an hour, many breaches and tail slaps. So cool to see them communicating and having fun in the waves. Pilot whales showed up in numbers to chase them away from the feeding area shortly before a number of different pods met up to socialise. Saw at least 50 different orca of all ages. Just incredible.On another note there were many snacks and drinks and the whole crew really looked after you the whole way with great commentary of where to look, naming them and explaining which families belonged to each matriarch. Couldn't of asked for a better experience. Thank you!!!

We had a great day with Whale Watch charters on their Bremer Bay canyon orca tour. The staff were amazing taking care of those that were sea sick in our group, so others could continue enjoying the tour. We appreciated this. We got to see pilot whales and orca. The pilot whales did steal the show! The staff were were very knowledgeable and we all came away having learned a lot. The vessel, staff and food were top notch. Even my seasick teen rated this his best holiday experience!

Experiencing the orcas was amazing and comes highly recommended! I found it a lot more engaging compared to most of the whale watching tours, which are enjoyable as such of course.Crew is very helpful, commentary is given by knowledgeable people and insightful and the catering is plenty. The sightings we had were fantastic, with orcas coming to play with the boat as well. Taking pictures is pretty convenient either by sitting on the front row or standing behind but can be challenging (swell can get serious) so make sure to enjoy the moment as well - you get some free pics to download anyway.About half of the passengers was feeling sick on our trip (which was windy) so prepare for that. It's a lengthy and involved boat ride in and out.

I went on the bremer bay orca tour and I loved it. The staff where all wonderful, especially "Bubbles" who's personality matches her name. Even though I didn't fair too well on the water, the staff look after you :') 10/10 experience 10/10 customer service. Hands down would do it again.

Incredible experience on the orca tour off Bremer Bay. Tick this off your bucket list, you won’t be disappointed. Suggest you take sea sickness tablets before you leave and during the tour so you don’t miss a moment. Would go with this family company on any whale watching tour.

Absolutely amazing experience! It took roughly one hour to get out to the usual orca habitat and possibly another 15 minutes to spot the killer whales.These are such amazing creatures and all the educational commentary made for a great day!Please be sure to have something for sea sickness before you board (as is also suggested by Whale Watch WA) because those who hadn’t definitely felt the motion of the boat.The crew was absolutely lovely, incredibly kind and accommodating. There were plenty of snacks on board, something for everybody to enjoy!10/10 would recommend and go again!

Aside from a magical experience seeing Orcas, the crew on this boat are truly exceptional.They take so much care with you as passengers, constantly handing out food and drinks. Helping you move around the boat if you need.Excellent and informative commentary when watching the whales.They take so much care to not interfere with the animals in anyway.

As a solo, female traveler who is hearing impaired and gluten intolerant, I cannot fault anything on this Orca cruise. It was an unreal cruise as we saw Orcas all day. The crew was very respectful of the Orcas but we still got to see so many. The commentary of the Orcas and birds were very interesting. The food and drinks provided were very generous. The vessel was very clean and at a high standard. The crew was professional but friendly and passionate. Albie was just a big bonus! Only downside is not being able to to give more stars! Worth every penny

Best whale watching tour in WA. Can't go past the 100% guarantee, it took three tours to see the Bremer Bay Orcas and I was welcomed back with a smile every time. The crew go above and beyond to make sure you're comfortable if you end up seasick, nothing is too much trouble. The boat is pure luxury, so comfortable in calm seas or if there is a swell. Cannot say enough about how great this company is. So knowledgeable about the whales, the commentary while you're out with the whales is fantastic, and their ability to spot Orca under water is amazing. Thanks for an amazing experience!

This family owned company runs a fabulous cruise out to see the Bremer Canyon orcas. They are so professional, helpful and eager to please. We were fortunate enough to spend some time with them and Lucky's family of orcas, as well as a huge pod of common dolphins riding the waves with our boat. We were well looked after, with food and refreshments throughout the day and a glass of bubbles to celebrate our day on the return home. Thank you Drew & Leanne, Gemma, Jade, Craig and Lia.
