Kalbarri Rock Lobster Tour and Charter operates from Kalbarri, Western Australia, offering guided marine experiences aboard the Nebraska II. The company provides seasonal whale watching cruises (June–September), morning lobster pot pull tours, and two-hour sunset cruises exploring Ganthaume Bay and the surrounding coastline.

The Sunset Cruise offers a relaxed coastal sightseeing option with opportunities to spot whales and dolphins and to enjoy cliff-lined scenery.
Safety and local knowledge underpin every outing. Vessel operations follow regional maritime regulations, and the crew briefings include safety procedures and environmental stewardship guidance. Tours depart from Kalbarri and are suitable for visitors seeking wildlife encounters, seafood experiences, or coastal photography. The operator emphasizes factual interpretation of wildlife sightings and transparent information about what each tour entails, including duration, likely wildlife encounters, and seasonal availability.
