  • Overview

    Gaze across Princess Royal Harbour with a view to King George Sound and, in the distance the expansive Southern Ocean. As you journey along the Torndirrup Peninsula this vista sets the scene.  Imagine for a moment, the spume of spray and the playful leap of a whale as it makes its way along The Amazing South Coast on a long journey north.  Today the whale  travels safely uninterrupted on its path.

    Albany’s role in the Australia’s whaling story comes to life on this tour at Albany’s Historic Whaling Station at Discovery Bay.  While there meet our friendly native animals in the Animal Wildlife Park. Or, you can wander the pathways and boardwalks to view native plants and the enhanced wetland environment in the Regional Wildflower Garden. Climb aboard the famous whale chaser and marvel at the enormous whale skeletons on display. Relax with refreshments and an exceptional view over the ocean, reflecting on the significance of whale hunting in the past, and recognition of the value of whale watching today. 

    NOTE:  minimum of 2 persons per tour.

    Booked and went on the ‘Gap and Natural Wonders Tour’ yesterday and both myself and my husband really enjoyed the experience. We were picked up at our Hotel by Susan in a very comfortable vehicle and she went above and beyond to ensure that we enjoyed our morning tour. She was very knowledgeable about all of the locations we visited and was only too happy to answer all of our questions. We also enjoyed a lovely complimentary Devonshire Tea at the Whaling Station Cafe. All in all a very enjoyable morning and would definitely recommend it to friends.

    We had booked a tour with Albany Tours to visit some wineries in Mount Baker region. We were arriving via a cruise ship. We were met at the port by a representative who directed us to a meeting point and that we would find Michele our guide. We have done many tours around the world. This was by far the best tour ever. Michele was very informative and new a lot about the wineries were to visit. She had everything well organized. She kept us on schedule because we had to catch our ship. If you are ever in Albany, I would highly recommend Albany Tours for a wine tour and request Michele as your guide and driver. Excellent tour.
