On your tour, you\u2019ll gain deeper insights into these majestic creatures through engaging commentary from the knowledgeable crew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tours operate twice daily during the season, with departures available from both Busselton and Dunsborough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most companies offer a whale guarantee sighting &#8211; if no whales are spotted during your tour, you\u2019re welcome back on another tour free of charge. Tour options include All Seas Charters, Whale Watch Western Australia and Naturaliste Charter, with RAC members receiving a discount when booking with Naturaliste Charters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to bring a jumper for the cool ocean breeze, and sea sickness medication if you\u2019re prone to motion sickness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Photo: David Ashley for Tourism Western Australia<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":992,"template":"","categories":[122],"activity-type":[116,114,124],"time-of-year":[119],"class_list":["post-991","events","type-events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tours-cruises","activity-type-accessible-facilities","activity-type-kid-friendly","activity-type-wildlife-experiences","time-of-year-spring"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
