The naturaliste service was efficient and friendly. The staff were excellent pointing out the early signs of whale activity. The crew spotted a couple of blue whales whilst at anchor. We got out to them, remained the required distance from them and they travelled alongside the boat but were very shy and weren't coming up for air much. They them spotted some activity across the bay with some active humpbacks who were tail slapping and fin raising with the juveniles breaching. It's hard to get good photos, video is better, but the experience was magical. Highly recommend going in season. The boat was not overcrowded and was very stable and well fitted out. I was glad of my jacket as despite sunny skies it was cold on the water. There is a mobile jetty on the beach onto which you board a small 10 person boat which takes you out to the big boat. Transfers are easy but steps with handrails can be tricky. All part of the experience though.

We had a great morning onboard and saw some humpback and blue whales. It is truly a great experience to be able to see the largest animal on earth in their natural environment.
We had a quite lucky day and saw some whales. Two humpback whales (mother and calf) even jumped only a few meters away from the boat (unfortunatley, we have been on the "wrong side of the boat" to see this in full) - as with any wild life watching tour, this is nature and it is unpredictable!
Still, Geographe Bay is stunning and even if you are not very lucky to see many whales, it is a great cruise with a lovely and knowledgable crew.
We recommend this tour and would like to say Thank You to Naturaliste Charters!

Really friendly crew who were very helpful and knowledgeable. Saw a few pygmy blue whales close by and quite a few humpbacks. Great experience if you have never been whale watching before.
