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.

Booked a trip for my sister's birthday, had an informative and interesting tour, it was awesome being able to see the wreck of the Cheynes II and learn some of it's history. The boat is extremely stable, being a former sea rescue vessel. My niece had never been on a boat before, Captain Mark was very kind and humourous and set her at ease. I highly recommend, it's a fantastic trip at an extremely reasonable price. 🙂

Watching whales was one of our dreams.
When we saw Captain Mark's little boat compares to the big tourists boats, we thought we had to take our chance !
Unfortunately no whales or dolphins to be seen on this beautiful day, we cannot force nature But we had such an exquisite time thanks to Captain Mark who made our day !
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 !!

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!

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!

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!

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 🐳

Felt safe and supported by mark on the boat and relaxed to enjoy the time out on the water. My husband is prone to getting very sea sick but no issues on this occasion.
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 💖👍

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.

It provides whale watching sailings twice per day:) If you forgot to book an whale watching sailing, try this one. One is in the morning, the other is afternoon !!! You can also enjoy and like it~!

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. 👍🏼🙂

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 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. A highlight for us was my son being able to get up as close as possible to the Cheynes 2, he has been intrigued by the wreck since we first came down. We love Albany and can’t wait to come back soon and we will definitely be hopping on board again with you.

Captain Mark ensured that everyone was involved in the boating experience. He taught people how to take the wheel and provided lots of information. The participants were able to see many different kinds of whales as well as dolphins etc. I am booking again for the July school holidays!

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 :-)!

Ps: Maybe the captain can provide some snacks as part of the package

Mark the Skipper was Comedy Gold!!! He was knowledgeable and informative but also made all people on board were having a great time.
Have lived in and visited Albany for many years but never seen the town or islands or harbour from the perspective of the water.
The boat size was perfect. Maximum 12 guests I think.

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.
