MAY TO OCTOBER
WINTER WHALE SAFARIS
Three Hour Whale and Scenic Safari
From around May to October, Humpback, Southern Right and occasionally rare Blue Whales can be seen in Albany’s waters where they frolic, mate and calve. Dolphins and seals can be seen all year round. Seeing whales is our priority on this safari, so we go where they go.
Departs 9:30am and 1:30pm
Adults $115
Concession/Pensioners $105
Children (5-17 yrs) $80
Infants (0-4 yrs) FREE
MAY TO OCTOBER
NOVEMBER TO APRIL
SUMMER SEA SAFARIS
Two Hour Scenic Safari
Smell the sea in the air and get the wind in your hair as we cruise around Princess Royal Harbour and King George Sound. We’ll navigate through the Ataturk Channel, past Point King Lighthouse and Point Possession. You’ll see the ANZAC Centre on Mount Clarence from the sea. Out in the King George Sound you’ll gaze in awe at the beautiful turquoise waters of Mistaken Island.
The amazing south coast is renowned for its pristine white beaches and we cruise past Brambles, Whalers Cove/Fisheries (a local nudist beach), Goode and Middleton Beach in Frenchman Bay. We also see Camp Quaranup, built in 1875 as a quarantine station with a powder magazine built on Geake Island.
Be reminded of whaling days gone by with a visit to an old shipwrecked Whale Chaser, the Cheynes II which broke its moorings and ran aground. It can be seen from the shores of Albany but it’s incredible to view up close and a photographers favourite.
Departs 9:30am, 12:30pm and 3:30pm
Adults $80
Concession/Pensioners $75
Children (5-17 yrs) $65
Infants (0-4 yrs) FREE

If you want to book and pay online we have the technology – you can look at our schedule, choose a date and time that suits you, pay and receive confirmation all without leaving your office or couch at home. If you’d rather book by phone, do not hesitate to call us on 0429 080 397. We can provide nibbles, drinks, bbq facilities, ice, a fridge, an esky, you name it.
COMING ABOARD?
We have a great way to let you unwind, relax, have fun and reconnect; that is our purpose, our reason for being here. You can usually find us wherever there is sheltered water, with up to twelve passengers, chilling out.
My husband and I went on a morning 2 hour safari around Princess Royal Harbour and King George Sound. Before we were even 10 minutes from the marina, we saw 2 pods of dolphins near the old Cheynes II whale chaser which looked to be in a feeding frenzy with birds darting into the water as well. His tours are very personable and he changed his regular run so we could spend more time watching the dolphins. The old whale chaser was fascinating to visit and had an Osprey perched on top of the crows nest. We then went around to Mistaken Island which has the most beautiful turquoise blue waters. Mark’s knowledge of the area is fantastic and he makes the trip fun too. We used safari alerts on his facebook page which uses messenger to send you an alert when he has last minute specials plus a fun quiz so you can learn more about Albany. What a great idea! Thanks Mark for a great morning. We both thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend this to anyone visiting Albany. We look forward to coming back in Winter and doing his whale watching tour.
SPECIAL REQUESTS?
- You are welcome to bring your own food, drinks and alcohol. If you would like to cook it, let us know and we’ll supply a gas BBQ
- If you want to do something special for your staff we organise corporate charters.
- Our deck is covered so you won't get fried on a sunny day or drenched should the weather turn. We have ample lighting for evening cruises.
- If you want to head out before dawn to see the sun come up over King George Sound, or see the sunset for a romantic evening we are there.
Let’s
have fun!
100% Satisfaction Guarantee
If the safari was not to your satisfaction or while the whales are in town and you did not see a whale, you are invited back as our guest free of charge for another safari.
Our twin hull catamaran design means that we do not rock about the way that single hull boats can. This extra stability makes for a more comfortable outing. In fact, our boat the “Young Salty Dog” is an ex sea rescue vessel so it’s safe and stable.
Some of Albany’s greatest beaches, secluded bays and inlets are best arrived at by boat. Without a doubt the best views are from a boat. The most romantic dinners are on a boat. We have the boat to take you there, regardless of what you are chasing. Within minutes of leaving the boat harbour at the bottom of York Street we can get you to beaches protected from development.
We’d love to take you there.
WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY
Check more reviews from these websites below.
It was great experience to see Albany in a different angle that you don't see on land. We were surprised to see so many beautiful hidden beaches and islands in Albany. Captain Mark is very funny, knowledgeable and even let us drive the boat! My five-year-old boy thoroughly enjoyed driving the boat for the first time. Thanks, Mark.

A beautiful morning in Albany that was just highlighted by 2.5 hours on a cruise on the Young Salty Dog. As a local I try to get all my guests to experience Albany from the water... Mark never fails to deliver a wonderful trip. Mark's knowledge and easy style with all his customers is one of the elements that makes this cruise a "must do" when you are in Albany.
Beautiful scenery, fresh air and sunshine .... who could ask for more??
Thank you Mark, keep up the great work you are an asset to our tourism industry

We had a family trip booked with Mark. The weather predictions weren’t the best and we had little kids on board that had never been in a boat before. It turned out to be the best day ever for everyone. We were all keen to see whales but we soon found out that there is so much more to see than just whales. So we explored Albany from an angle most of us have never seen although having lived in Albany for a long time. To top it off with saw 2 humpbacks and a school of dolphins with a baby. Lucky us.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
What a DAY! Bow riding dolphins, whales, fishing birds, history and all round beautiful waters to cruise. Huge thanks to Captain Mark for showing us around and teaching us about the local area and history. Highly recommend while in Albany! Stunning! 😍 🐋

My partner & I boarded the King George Sound Tour vessel with Captain Mark. What an amazing experience, Albany's rich history seen from the water. With Captain Mark's knowledge he made it extremely enjoyable and with his charisma and humor (Love the dad jokes). By the way
We were also fortunate enough to see a whale , but sitting on the front deck having a pod of dolphins frolicking while cruising was the most enjoyable.
Would highly recommend this tour for all ages.
Keep up the great work Captain Mark

Great afternoon out on the water. Would highly recommend this tour, the Captain is very informative and has a great sense of humour (Dad jokes are his thing lol) he even snuck a selfie of himself in whilst offering to take my pic on my phone lol I didn’t spot it until I was home.The smaller group and boat just makes the experience more personal and I would recommend that over the bigger tour boats/groups.
Great afternoon out on the water.

There are so many things to see and do around Albany. We were only in town for a couple of days so our available time to see and do was quite limited. I'm so glad that we took the 3 hour boat Safari with Captain Mark on his boat. It was worth 10 hours of driving around. There was an interesting commentary on the places we passed. Everyone on board had a great time plus we saw whales and dolphins which is a bonus. Being able to see so much of the area surrounding King George Sound in a short time and learn so much about the places we passed was great plus it was a memorable experience and a highlight of our trip.

Had a fantastic morning out with Captain Mark. His explanations of the area were interesting and he encouraged us to adventure by getting out on the front of the boat. He put us within the dolphins and then whales were seen playing around the trawlers. Well spent time watching the whales and dolphins. By the end of our trip we had learnt about the area and the whales activities and made new friends on the trip. Thanks Capt Mark. Have a beer next time over.

Sea Safari adventure Went out for a trip with Capt Mark. Weather was perfect. He was welcoming and provided details of the region. Along the way we had the company of dolphins and as we got further out we saw the play of whales in the harbour. We ventured out to the front of the boat and it was fantastic. By the end we had seen so much and enjoyed the company of others. Thanks Mark.read moreread less

We had a terrific trip on King George Sound today with Captain Mark. 😀
It was a bit too early for whales but the dolphins and sea birds were on point as was the tour. Loads of interesting information shared with us and Mark’s cheeky comments had us laughing.
Definitely treat yourself to a cruise around King George Sound… such a stunning area and a beautiful harbour.
Thank you, Mark, for a great experience. 🤩

The captain had a pretty silly sense of humour which made the boat tour all the more enjoyable. He warned me that being in the corner I would get wet. If I hadn't gotten wet at all I would have given 2 stars for the false advertising but I got a few wavefulls straight to the face and had a fantastic time. He gave facts about Albany's history and some fun facts about rocks, for all the rock enjoyers (me) and geologists in the audience. And I am absolutely going to watch that documentary. Thanks for the great time, see you at the beach.

Relaxing & enjoyable cruise What fun!!! My husband and I did a two hour cruise with Captain Mark and it was so much fun. He shared lots of local knowledge as we went on our leisurely cruise. We learnt about Albanys maritime history and got to listen to some oddly funny “Dad jokes” 🙂 🙂 The cruise was very reasonably priced and the boat was spotlessly clean. We have already recommended the cruise to friends.

The trip was a mix of information, adventure and humour.
The boat is intimate and allows interaction with other guests.
Captain Mark makes everyone feel welcomed and his jokes are a highlight.
Have now done two (2) trips with KGSS and wouldn’t hesitate to do another.

We learned and laughed a lot !!
He kindly offered us to come back for free next time as we haven't seen any whales.
Thank you so much for this amazing experience we will never forget !
We will come back for sure, so see ya Captain Mark !

All aboard the Salty Young Dog! We had a fantastic day out with Captain Mark on this perfect little boat! He let us know that because it was late in the season, we may not see whales. It's never a guarantee right- they're wild creatures that don't follow a timetable. We headed off, got good local info as we chugged out of the harbour. Mark is good fun and easy to get along with. There's shelter inside the boat to get out of the sea spray, and seats outside and in. We could walk around the boat and stand up the front, cool sitting up there too if you're mobile. It was fabulous seeing all the interesting islands and beaches... really this tour was tops! 3hr duration perfect, and Mark's commentary was just enough. Those cheeky whals kept us guessing, we didn't see any but it didn't dampen a great day out. Thanks again Captain !!

Awesome day with Captain Mark! Absolutely fantastic day out with Captain Mark! When we booked, Captain Mark let us know we were late in the season for whales- we still took the tour and had an awesome adventure on the water. We got an informative and fun tour, Mark didn't waffle on about unnecessary stuff, just the facts with some humour. He was happy to answer our questions. The boat is a good little size, it was windy and there is room to shelter from the weather. His tour was just the right length, it gave us spectacular views of stunning Albany and it was just so relaxing and lovely being out on the water. Whales? Well they don't come when they're called folks!

Fantasic tour, thanks Captain Mark! I really didn't think we would see any whales, but, gee, I was wrong!! We had singletons, mum and baby putting on a display and then, when we on our way home, we had the most majestic whale decide he was going to give us the display of a lifetime! After 'logging' for about 5 mins, he had recharged his batteries and the game was on. Breaching about 10 times. Flapping his fins one at a time, rolling from side to side. As we were about to leave after 20mins, he decided to lay on its back and flap both of them, as if saying 'see ya later!'
Only 12 max passengers on the boat, so lots of room to move and have great views. Best trip ever!

Thank you Captain Mark for an hilarious and relaxing boat ride to see Albany from the sea! Your quirky sense of humour will be a stand out for our memories! We loved the personalised tour and the info you could share with us about the King George Sound, which is simply spectacular! The gentle breeze swept away the cobwebs in our heads! It was made extra special by the sighting of whales and observing them blow from their blow holes! This was an adventure not to be missed! Captain Mark will not only take your photo but he’ll sneak in a cheeky one of himself, aaahahaha!

Had a great trip with Mark the captain. A much more personal experience than other operators, due to the smaller groups he takes out. Just when we were starting to worry that we might not see any whales, they appeared. Highly recommend if visiting Albany. Cheers.

Amazing wildlife experience in Albany We had the absolute BEST time on Captain Mark’s boat!!! We really enjoyed having a smaller tour group and being able to chat with Mark and get to know him. As a traveller from Canada, it was really great to connect with an Australian local and get to experience seeing beautiful Aussie scenery & wildlife! We saw many humpback whales and dolphins, which was such an incredible experience! Mark also gave us recommendations on where else to visit while in Albany! I would highly recommend booking in a trip!read moreread less

Family friendly, funny guide, safe and comfortable vessel, whale watching. What an absolutely wonderful experience! We just cannot thank Mark enough for such a once in a lifetime morning. Our daughter is a true chatterbox, and he took her questions and comments with ease and a sense of mischief, and as a result she’s now telling everyone who will listen how awesome Capitan Mark is. I spent half of the trip seasick - but I’d still do it again if given the chance. Mark has such an excellent way of sharing information, and making you feel like no question is too silly. It was a bit of a rainy, bleary morning out on the water, but we still saw a fair amount of whale activity. We also saw dolphins and, my personal highlight - birds! I ticked off my first Albatross!
Marks boat is a wonderfully safe, comfortable ride, with some very meaningful touches to his late son quietly riding the waves with you.
Thank you so, so much Mark. For being open and honest about the weather, keeping us in the loop about the tour, and your kindness and humour during the trip. Rest assured, if we can be back onboard one day - we will!

We certainly enjoyed this whale watch trip. Initially, we were like worried that for an hour & and half, there was no sightseeing, but with 7 years of experience, our jovial Captain Mark soon brought us to a wonderful sightseeing of these magnificent humpback whale and dolphin. I guess luck was on our side as soon as we spotted the first school, we had the second, then the third, and on... even near the bay! Awesome, Captain Mark!!!

100% recommended going Out there with King George Sound Safari. Not really luxurious boat with tea/coffee and snacks. But super chilled and not so many other people in the boat

Me and my partner decided to do a whale watching experience whilst visiting Albany for the first time - We were so glad to have chosen this boat trip! Mark was such a fun guy and made the experience definitely one to remember! Although unfortunately we didn't see any whales, which ofcourse is out of Marks control ofcourse, we did get the privaledge to see dolphins and seals which was great!
The boat was a great size - I personally like smaller boats as it feels more personal compared to the big boats you see offering similar experiences. Everyone on board had a great laugh and will never forget our time on the trip. We sat at the top of the boat which was great as you could see for miles!
Thank you Mark for giving us a truly memorable experience - oh and thanks for all the knowledgeable facts too 😁
We will for sure book your trip again when we are next visiting Albany - Hopefully with more luck seeing Whales 🐳

Mark has a dry sense of humour and relaxes everyone with his humour as well as being informative and interesting.
I thought we were going to miss out on seeing whales after about an hour on board. Saw some fur seals and a sea lion and then the whales turned up. Beautiful sharing amongst the passengers of sightings so all able to catch the beauty of these magnificent mammals.
I also saw dolphins on the way back to Albany.
Amazing morning that has been a highlight of our trip to WA.

What a great day today out with Captain Mark & the 'Young Salty Dog' on King George Sound Safari. This has got to be is the best way to see the coastline of King George Sound. The feeling of being out on the water and having fun in a totally safe way was exhilarating! I rarely go out on boats and was happy to find this Safari because it was totally easy to book and go out on the water for whale and dolphin watching. The boat feels easy to be on, has shelter from rain and sun and is able to get around all the places to see & learn about the environment & marine wildlife. Captain Mark also shares fun facts, stories & history of this area in an easy upbeat way. I would definitely do King George Safari again and see why it is such a great experience for visitors to Albany. Loved this experience 💖👍

Family friendly and down to earth! Went out with Mark with my kids and he was really great with them! Can recommend going with him especially if you want a more down to earth, family friendly experience that feels like you're out with a friend. He was very knowledgeable and relaxed making the 3 hour trip feel like an hour. Didn't get to see any whales sadly but will message Mark when we visit again to hopefully see some. Luckily there were a lot of dolphins around 🙂read moreread less

Amazing whale watching trip today. Mark is a top lad, makes you feel welcome from the moment you step foot on the boat. Super knowledgeable and a funny chap (despite some terrible dad jokes!). Mark promised us we would see some whales and did not dissapoint, also took us to see all the rest of the local sights. Cannot reccomend this tour enough, worth every penny and i will definitely be back.

We were glad we chose this company rather than the sailing tour. The seas were looking rough on the day we wanted to go & the other boat didn’t go out. We had a great ride with Mark and once out in the sound it was smooth between the islands and even sunny in parts. We were kept in relative shelter on the sturdy boat & very glad for the cover when it drizzled. It was my daughter’s 17th birthday & she was even allowed to have a drive! Sadly we missed seeing whales but did spot a massive seal. Beautiful sea air and an awesome swing by the wreck of the Cheyenne II on our back into harbour was fascinating. Mark was kind & knowledgeable & we have the option to go again to see whales on another day without having to pay again. All in all a really great day which would have otherwise been pretty miserable & wet on land. Our 3 teenagers were not complaining about being bored and we all felt envigorated as we stepped off after the tour ended. Highly recommend. 👍🏼🙂

Weather no obstacle This boat went out when the other one didn’t due to the weather. Great sturdy boat with cover & excellent service. Our teenaged kids loved it we all learned a lot. The whales hid on the day we chose but we get to go again at no charge which is very generous.
Mark was kind, competent & knowledgeable. It was nice not to be in a huge group too - this one has plenty of room but feels intimate and friendly.
Very good value.

Captain Mark brought me closer to god The first moment we walked on the boat and shook captain mark’s hand and said “pleasure to meet you “ he replied “I know, everyone tells me that!”. This took me aback at the start, and 10 minutes later I realised he was right.Captain Mark is the lifeblood of this tour and one of the most humorous people I have ever met. This tour was the best laughs I have had in years.
Do yourself a favour and check this out.
P.s. please go to the toilet before leaving port and don’t gas up the cabin for 3 hours

Thanks Mark for a great morning out in the sound. We didn’t get to see any whales but you still made it interesting, funny and exciting.

Bonus free trip if you don't see whales so you can try again for free. It's still an incredible trip and Mark was very informative and funny - take a sense of humour though because he does keep you hanging on some jokes lol! Good music too!

Unique Experience We went out with Mark a few days ago while we were in Albany and had an amazing trip. We particularly liked the small group atmosphere and as Mark is an owner operator and also a local fisherman, he has an extensive knowledge of the area, history, wildlife and conditions. The boat tailored for smaller groups, allows easy socialising and was excellent allowing indoor or outdoor access.
We highly recommend this tour.

Had a great time with Mark out on the boat, saw heaps of whales and other creatures & learned cool stuff about this amazing place we live in. Living locally I really enjoyed seeing home and familiar islands from a new perspective or closeup. Mark is a real character and runs the tours in a nicely down to earth way, definitely didn’t feel like a kitschy tourist thing. Our 18 month old daughter also loved it, finally saw whales closeup and rocked out to the music :-)!

We saw a mum and baby whale with dolphins swimming around also. A great tour of the local area from a comfy seat on the boat with some interest info and a few jokes included. We then were lucky enough to see a pod of whales who came right up to the boat. I am travelling solo but felt like I was touring with friends. I highly recommend this. Great value for money.

More than meets the eye My family and i enjoyed the cruise. We got a good deal on the price. It was a small crowd and therefore very interactive. We saw the whales a few times. It was a full 3-hour experienced and we even got more than what we bargained for (squid ).
Ps: Maybe the captain can provide some snacks as part of the package

We were lucky enough to secure a last minute cruise in December 2022. We last visited 3 years ago and we’re looking forward to another trip. Captain Mark was very knowledgeable on not just the whales (which unfortunately due to the timing of our visit we were unable to see) but also Albany, it’s history, it’s exporting trade, it’s marine animals and much more. Highlights for the kids (12 years and and 10 years old) was wearing the captains hat and sitting in the drivers seat, as well as holding a whales tooth. If your looking for something to do whilst visiting Albany, I can highly recommend King George Sound Safari. Our family for 4 really enjoyed it, and it was value for money.

Top trip around Albany harbour We booked a trip with Mark on the ‘Young Salty Dog’ to check out King George Sound (Albany) on a glorious day. A close up of the wreck ‘Cheyenne’s II’ made for some great photography. We also got to Captain the boat for a short distance which was lots of fun. Mark had terrific banter and sometimes his stories had me wondering?? The Right Whale ejects 200lt of sperm out of a 4metre penis and his gonads weigh 500kg each - Lordy they are big numbers!! Lots of Googling happening to check, but all true!The water is an exquisite turquoise in some spots and sand a glistening white.
This is a terrific, value for money, 2hr tour - just do it!

Captain Mark is a very friendly and knowledgeable skipper who made everyone on the cruise feel equally valued and engaged. His dad jokes and comments were hilarious well most of the time anyway. We will definitely be going again when we come back. Thanks for a great cruise Mark

Mark is an engaging and knowledgeable tour guide, although we did not spot any whales on our tour, (and the weather happened to be terrible the day we went out) it was a great experience and we learned a lot about Albany and its many sites with Mark's hilarious commentary. I highly recommend King George Sound Safari to anybody visiting (or residing in) Albany. Thanks Mark 👍

Wonderful Albany Experience We travelled to Albany with friends and the King George Sound Safari came up on my Facebook. It sounded like a good experience, so I booked it for the 4 of us. On arrival at the jetty, there were a couple of other big boats and we thought, oh dear, should we have booked them, instead of the little red one! No, we shouldn't have, as there were only 6 of us on the boat & Mark (Skipper) was excellent at explaining the sites around Albany & looking for whales, which I have to say, we did see whales and dolphins. We all had a fabulous few hours & would thoroughly recommend it to anyone planning a trip to Albany. Go on the little red boat, not the big ones!read moreread less

Fabulous way to spend three hours and well worth the money Whale sightings are not guaranteed - it's not a zoo! Despite not finding any whales, we had a fabulous three hours cruising the Sound, seeing dolphins, seals and a variety of seabirds. Great value for money, interesting and fun information and anecdotes about the history, geography and landscapes of the area. Funny and informative captain/guide. Best way to spend three hours on the water. We will be back!read moreread less

A good boat tour of the harbours off Albany. Unfortunately we saw no whales on this day (end of July) but on offer is a later tour (within the next 3 months) for another chance to see whales. Otherwise this was an enjoyable outing.

Highly recommend Mark if you are looking for a smaller scale whale watching, the boat only takes 12 persons which is what we were looking for, we didn't want to do it with a bigger operator. Luckily for us the weather was awesome, we did saw few whales and were lucky enough to have a calf swiming right on us (just wasn't fast enough to get a picture. The highlight was a pod of dolphins swimming with us for few minutes on our way back.

When things get quiet, he throws in a dad joke to get the whole boat groaning 😅 This was our second trip, and there’ll be a third. Lots of character and very enjoyable.

What a great bloke Captain Mark is! If you visit Albany and want to go Whale searching there’s no better way than with King George Sound Safari.
The boat is smaller than the big guns but that’s the appeal.
If your looking for a more personal trip where you are a person rather than a passenger then get on board!!
Captain Mark does everything in his power to ensure that you have a fabulous experience even if you don’t see the elusive stars of the safari.
Mark takes the time to give you facts about the area and has a great eye for spotting wildlife in the water.
We were treated very well and enjoyed a lovely relaxed filled out trip not once but twice so far! Thanks Captain Mark, see you soon.

We had a family trip booked with Mark. The weather predictions weren’t the best and we had little kids on board that had never been in a boat before. It turned out to be the best day ever for everyone. We were all keen to see whales but we soon found out that there is so much more to see than just whales. So we explored Albany from an angle most of us have never seen although having lived in Albany for a long time. To top it off with saw 2 humpbacks and a school of dolphins with a baby. Lucky us. It was a awesome day and the on boat entertainment not even mentioned. Definitely worth doing. Thx Mark for a great adventure and memory made.

Even if you are Western Australian local, Im sure you would find Captain Marks Humour and Local Knowledge fun and a great addition to the experience of being out on the water for a few hours.

Mark is extremely knowledgeable about Albany and it’s history. Fantastic 2 hour boat ride around the sites of the bays of Albany, couldn’t recommend this enough. Such a laid back way to see the beautiful water and historic sites.

Mark is such an easy going, chilled out person who clearly loves what he does! He makes the experience very relaxing and has an extensive amount of knowledge that he shares with you along the way. This is great value for money, I highly recommend doing this if you have the time up your sleeve whilst in beautiful Albany.

Our family recently joined a King George Sound Safari Tour, a last minute decision which turned out to be the best we made and the most memorable experience of our holiday.
Captain Mark has a great understanding of the history of Albany and we were taken to stunning locations, had an amazing time and gained so much knowledge along the way.
Above all a friendly, personable and welcoming host who ensured all were comfortable and accommodated from the moment we stepped on board. Our usually shy 3 year old had a turn at steering the boat, she has a bit of practice to do but thanks for making her first boating experience such a positive one!
We can not recommend highly enough as value for money. It was our pleasure to meet you Mark, an inspiration to see someone doing what they are so passionate about. Keep up the fantastic tours and see you next trip!

Had an amazing afternoon with Mark & the team from work. It was a glorious day and we had 3 very enjoyable hours onboard the Young Salty Dog. We only saw 1 whale at the end of the trip , but it was an extremely delightful afternoon.
This is my third trip with King George Sound Safaris and I just 😍.

Had a great time sailing with Captain Mark. We had a chance to view another side of Albany. Love the experience of sailing with Capt. Anyone who's looking for a Whale Safari Tour, you should look for Captain Mark! I bet you will feel regret. 😊

Captain Mark was awesome and great with the kids. We also liked the fact that it is a small boat with a more intimate experience and it wasn't a large pack em in experience......and the whales were very good indeed!

Great tour to see the whales, as well as a lot of lot of information about about the local area which was interesting. Mark was easy engage with and very knowledgeable. The worst thing about our trip was a competitor approaching us as we went to take the tour, to go with him rather than Mark. Incredibly poor form.

A wonderful afternoon whale watching with Captain Mark on the Young Salty Dog. Captain Mark kept us informed and entertained while we spent three hours watching the Southern Right Whales in King George Sound and around Middleton bay. He was great with the children and they had an excellent afternoon.
