Whale Watching

The Margaret River region plays host to an estimated 35,000 whales annually – more than twice that of the east coast and for a much longer season. From June through to December you can witness the beauty of Southern Right Whales and Humpbacks in the wild.

You can see the whales by boat with an experienced charter operator such as Legend Charters, Jet Adventures, Whale Watching Charters or Naturaliste Charters

Don’t like boats? Try one of these land-based options… www.margaretriver.com/cool-spots-whale-watching-this-season

Have a whale-y fun time!
