Whale Watching
Naturaliste Charters invites you to experience the breathtaking spectacle of whale migration along Western Australia’s South West coast. From May to August, tours depart from the picturesque town of Augusta, where humpback and southern right whales can be seen during their northern 2migration to warmer breeding grounds. Flinders Bay offers close, reliable sightings and a dramatic coastal setting that makes it one of the best whale-watching spots in the country.
From August to November, the action continues in Dunsborough, where Naturaliste Charters offers tours to witness the whales on their southern migration back toward Antarctic waters. The calm, sheltered waters of Geographe Bay provide ideal conditions for viewing humpbacks, with the occasional appearance of a blue whale adding to the wonder. With expert guides, a custom-built vessel and a passionate crew, Naturaliste Charters ensures an unforgettable encounter with the wild. To book your tour, call 08 9750 5500 or book online here and get ready for a memorable experience.
River Cruise
Enjoy a cruise and guided tour of the beautiful Blackwood River and its unspoilt wetland eco-system. From the rivermouth to Molloy Island, the river is rich in history and teeming with wildlife. Your skipper and guide Graeme Challis has grown up on the river and has plenty of local knowledge and stories to tell.
Caves
For the ultimate underground adventure, discover an ancient wonderland below ground in one of the region’s caves. Marvel at the huge stalactites in Jewel Cave and see the fascinating fossils in Mammoth Cave. There are different caves and different tours – some are guided and some are self-guided. Some are run by the Margaret River Busselton Tourism Association and some by WA’s Parks and Wildlife Service. Take your pick!
Lighthouse
Take a day trip to one, or both, of the historic lighthouses in the region – the Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse (on the northern end of Cape Naturaliste) and the Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse (at the southern end near Augusta). Be rewarded with breathtaking ocean views and hear tales of shipwrecks and life as a lighthouse keeper.
