Naturaliste Charters

Unbelievably killer experience with the killer whales. What a friendly environment on the charters. Highly recommend for some beautiful scenery!!!!

I highly recommend Naturaliste Charters Whale Watching Expeditions as your go to for whale watching. We were lucky enough to join the crew on beautiful Alison Maree a modern, spacious and luxurious 20m catamaran, very stable and well appointed, perfect for whale watching. The crew had plenty of time to discuss the migration of the whales and their behavior, Pia the marine biologist she has a wealth of knowledge and has had numerous years working on the whale watching vessels. We had plenty of time to photograph the whales, fur seals and bird life. We cant wait to book our next adventure with Naturaliste Charters, hopefully from Bremer Bay to see the killer whales.

We joined the afternoon Augusta tour yesterday and it was amazing.Jacko shared a lot of interesting facts with us and we saw 8 whales on the way.We stayed with a pod of 3 whales (1 female being chased by 2 males) for most of our trip and it was very interesting to see their behaviour.The boat was nice and big with enough space for everyone to get a good spot and move around.

Pia and Jacko where very accomadating and knowledgeable. A pleasure to share our afternoon and the experience with them.

I have always toured in Augusta with Whale Watch Australia but after their change in vessel this year (no bathrooms, seated, not much space) I decided to try Naturaliste Charters and I’m so glad I did! The crew are amazing, so friendly and funny while also being incredibly professional and knowledgeable, I found the whole experience way more relaxed and enjoyable. We ended up getting a bonus hour of time and saw plenty of whales, I also came away with lots of new whale knowledge. I loved it and can’t wait to go again! Highly recommend.

There were 3 options for whale watching tours from Augusta. We chose Naturaliste charters as they have been running longer and their dual hulled boat is more stable.The crew were very knowledgeable and didn't mind lots of questions from the kids.Saw plenty of humpbacks but no southern rights unfortunately.Thanks for an awesome trip!

Great experience. We saw plenty of whales, some of them really close, and got explanation from the crew. They took the time to spot the whales and head toward them. The boat is very nice, and you can observe from the front, the back and the sides.

Relaxing afternoon cruise on a big steady catamaran into Flinders Bay, with a friendly engaging knowledgeable crew.We only caught sight of a single mother and calf southern right whale family but it was enlightening to be told that there are only 3000 of these Southern Right Whales in Australian waters, scary how they are still at such low numbers, so seeing a new calf is uplifting, the mum seemed happy to herd her calf towards the boat for a looksee for 30-40 mins. Good cruise, recommended.

Highly recommend this Whale Watching experience. We went during Humback peak season and / the start of the Southern Right Whales. We got to see both. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly. If it's a cold day, don't forget to wear warm clothes!

Great team, beautiful boat.The team went above and beyond to guarantees us whale sightings.Yes various humpback sightings and a southern right with a calf.Unfortunately humpbacks didn't want to do no airborne jumps haha but did give us mini breaches and some tail slaps.Highly highly recommended.
