Southern western Australia is an incredible place to see whales as they frolic in and move through our waters. Spending the warmer season in cool Antarctic and sub-Antarctic regions, the whales stock up energy supplies by feeding on prolific krill. An annual migration begins in May\/June, with the whales moving to higher latitudes of southern Australia. Some species such as southern right whales and blue whales will stay along the southern coastline, whereas humpbacks stop over, then cruise up the west coast to the warmer waters of the Kimberly region to calve and mate. The beginning of this migration run marks an exciting time for us, as the beautiful south coast is an exquisite place to connect with these whales on their journey. When in the south and wanting to go on an Albany whale watching tour, your best bet is to come to the beautiful Augusta!<\/p>\n
Though before you take a drive over to Augusta to come out with us, please do stop in and have a look around Albany. It is an excellent place to see whales from the shore! Starting at the stunning Middleton Beach, there is a lovely cafe and fantastic playground to kick you off. Once on the wooden boardwalk you will look out and see the magnificent King George Sound. This is a large ocean inlet which curves in, giving dramatic views of islands in the distance, such as Breaksea, Michaelmas, Mistaken and Green Islands. King George Sound varies in depth from 10m – 35m and has two harbours within the sound, being Princess Royal Harbour to the west and Oyster Harbour to the north. The area gives great protection from heavy seas that roll in from the southern ocean.<\/p>\n
