Off Western Australia’s rugged coastline, Kalbarri presents an unmatched stage to witness the southern migration of Humpback whales. Kalbarri Rock Lobster Tour and Charter invites adventurers to step aboard the Nebraska II for a focused 2-hour whale watching tour between June and September. Departing from the Kalbarri Maritime Facility, this cruise navigates Ganthaume Bay and the nearby rocky shoreline, revealing a wild marine world alive with movement and sound.
The star attraction here is the Humpback whale, whose seasonal migration transforms these waters into a marine theater. Guests often catch sight of massive breaches, playful tail slaps, and the serene presence of mothers and calves. But it’s not just whales—dolphins dart alongside the boat, sea birds wheel overhead, and occasionally seals haul out on hidden rocks. The limestone cliffs and red bluffs lining Kalbarri’s coast provide a striking backdrop, adding a dramatic edge to the seascape.
