• The mighty mammals of the sea flock to the
  pristine waters of Perth year-round as they
  migrate in search of their future partners.
  Unlike other whale watching locations, the waters
  of Perth are visited by a number of whale species
  mainly humpbacks and blue whales.The whales
  tend to swim close to the shore which will let
  you spot them with your bare eyes. If you think
  this is awesome, think about a vantage point from
  where you are just metres away from these
  magnificent creatures. Perth whale watching
  cruises crafted with the sole purpose of creating
  exceptional experience delivers you the same.

• Although Perth has a year-round whale watching
  season, you would be able to see them the best
  during two main peak seasons so make sure you
  time your visit according to the type of whale
  species you would like to see.
• From the month of March to May you will be
  treated with the view of the mesmerising humpback
  whales as they migrate north. To watch the
  endangered southern right whales the month of
  August is the best time. If you are lucky enough
  you will be able to spot humpback whales as well
  but not as many as in the month of May.

• The southward migrating humpback whales tend to
  lodge in the shallow waters of Perth. From
  September to late November humpback whales can be
  found with great regularity towards the south of
  Perth. After the ban of commercial whaling, the
  Southern Right whales have increased in number
  because of which we are able to see more of it.
  There are numerous land-based lookouts with
  excellent vantage points as well as spectacular
  Perth whale watching cruises available in the
  Sydney South West region of Western Australia.

• The southern right whales and humpback whales
  migrate every year in May from the food-rich
  southern ocean in search of breeding grounds in
  the warm northern waters. During November the
  same pods of whales return south to the colder
  seas to nurture the young ones. Watch them show
  off their aquatic skills from the comfort of a
  Perth whale watching cruise as these magnificent
  mammals travel to the warm waters of the Indian
  Ocean following the continental shelf embracing
  the coast.

• For Perth, whales are not just a magnet to
  attract tourists, they play a vital role in
  stabilizing the food chain and reproduction of
  other species. Commercial whaling had
  destabilized and had caused a drastic change in
  the food supply of many other marine inhabitants.
  Studies regarding whales and their influence on
  the ecosystem, has led to a lot of discoveries
  regarding echolocation, marine life/biology,
  aquatic environments and marine mammal
  intelligence. Know more about this from the
  marine biologist onboard all-inclusive Perth
  whale watching cruises.
