Testimonials:

Amanda W - April 2026

"What can I say!!.. because what ever I do say will not do this tour/day full justice. It was amazing, stunning and exciting from start to finish.
We experienced the Orcas in their natural habitat for hours... just to watch them glide around and under the boat as a family pod with babies, one very new was a true honour to behold.
The staff on board are so knowledgeable and constantly coming around the boat answering questions and making the whole trip fun.
They cater for dietary requirements and there's plenty food and selection of hot and cold drinks during the trip.
I cannot recommend this trip enough, its a bucket list experience for sure... we travelled from the uk and it was so so worth it.
Thank you all.. ❤️ a memory that will stay for life ?"

"The best experience I’ve done in W.A.
I took a 5 day road trip from Perth down to Bremer Bay specifically for this trip and it did not disappoint! I’m glad I chose this company, I can’t speak for the other charter company, but naturaliste the staff were amazing. They were so enthusiastic to share their knowledge about the orca and really catered to everyone’s needs onboard. We stayed out later too to maximise our time seeing the animals.
We were treated with Dolphins in the morning and spent a lot time with the baby orca Nibbles. It was so breathtaking and exciting to watch ?, all the while learning about their really cool behaviours and family structure.
Thank you so much for a bucket list item I never knew I had! ?"
