Whale Watching Activities

An Unmissable Experience for Amalfi Resort Guests

Each year, the waters off the coast of Western Australia come alive with the magic of the whale migration. From the windswept shores of Flinders Bay in Augusta to the calm blue waters of Geographe Bay in Dunsborough, this stretch of coastline becomes the stage for one of nature’s most mesmerising performances – the annual journey of the whales.

As a guest of Amalfi Resort, you are perfectly placed to witness this awe-inspiring spectacle, with exclusive discounts available for unforgettable whale watching tours departing just a short drive away.

Two Incredible Locations, One Breathtaking Experience

Naturaliste Charters operates from both Dunsborough and Augusta, offering multiple opportunities to get up close with some of the ocean’s most majestic creatures.

Dunsborough Whale Watching (August to November)

Late winter through to spring is the best time to join a whale watching tour in Dunsborough. Departing from the calmer waters of Geographe Bay, these tours often feature migrating whales with their young calves, heading south to Antarctic feeding grounds. The protected conditions of the bay make for a smooth and scenic journey, perfect for families and photographers alike.

Augusta Whale Watching (May to August)

From May onwards, Augusta becomes a premier whale watching destination as humpback and southern right whales begin their migration north. Flinders Bay offers incredible sightings in sheltered waters – often right beside the vessel – and is one of the few places where both species overlap during the season.

Why Choose a Whale Watching Tour?

While there are stunning land-based lookouts such as Shelley Cove, Hamelin Bay, and the Cape to Cape Track, nothing compares to being out on the water. A tour with Naturaliste Charters, the region’s most experienced operator with over 30 years in the industry, puts you at the heart of the action.

Their crew of marine experts ensures a safe, educational, and memorable experience. The tours are designed for all ages, including young children and those with mobility needs, and are operated aboard the spacious, purpose-built catamaran Alison Maree. With large viewing decks and onboard commentary, you will learn about whale behaviour, ecology, and migration as you witness breaching, tail slaps, and spy hops right before your eyes.
