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.

Captain Mark generously shares his knowledge of Albany and goes out of his way to make the journey memorable. I came away with more respect for our beautiful environment and a greater understanding of the area. There was plenty of good and bad jokes with lots of banter, which kept everyone laughing for the 2 hours. As I was travelling solo this broke the ice with other passengers. Thankyou Mark. read less

If you weigh whales in a whale weigh station, where would you weigh a pie?
Go on Cap’n Marks safari, he’ll give you the answer!

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 🐳 read less

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. Thanks Mark 😃🐋 read less

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 💖👍 read less

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. 👍🏼🙂 read less

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.

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. read less

No whales today, but Captain Mark shares all he knows about whale biology including genital facts, local geography and history, which is a great commentary. 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. read less
