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.

Great day out with best friend. Captain Mark was a comical gem on this tour. He assisted my 100 year old friend on board and helped to put him in the warmer cabin area in the best position for the best view. Hats off to Captain Marks knowledge of Albany history and his consideration of my elderly companions needs.
We will definitely book again in the future for the next exciting adventure.
We even saw whales!!! What a bonus.

The Day Out of Time Southern Ceremony 2024 Eartheart lead a group on Day Out of Time Ceremony in 4 locations on 25th July 2024.One of which was in the centre of King George Sound on Captain Mark’s boat! He was wonderful, not only embracing ceremony on his boat, also participating in the ceremony and continuing it throughout the course of the year to come.
We are thrilled by his candour, passion and wealth of knowledge he shared during our trip. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts we will be back! 🩵

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! Captain Mark will not only take your photo but he’ll sneak in a cheeky one of himself, aaahahaha!

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!

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 🐳

Nature had it's way and we didn't see any whales, a few dolphins but all in all a morning well enjoyed. Would go again.

We had a great time with mark and the other passengers on Wednesday.
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 😃🐋

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 💖👍

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.

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 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.

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

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!

Super friendly tour guide who instantly made us feel welcome and happy! 10/10 would recommend and will go on another tour with this company next time we are down south. It was nice to see another side of Albany and it's sea creatures! Thanks again Captn Mark!

Colours unexpected We went on the second last day of the season. The whales weren’t there, however we enjoyed the company of friends, the beautiful scenery of the sound, and I learned a lot more about our town’s history. I will book again next year, and I will book a bit earlier - this is an awesome experience!read moreread less

We haven't seen whales and the weather wasn't great but this is the wild ! 🤷🏻♂️ Seen a couple of dolphins which was amazing 🤩 Otherwise Mark makes sure you're spending a good time in every aspect, explaining the history around with some good jokes 😁 Really pleasant experience, and really nice to meet you Captain! Hopefully there will be some rum next time 🥃😉🏴☠️ All the best, Wee-Wee 🇫🇷🇦🇷🇦🇺

More than entertaining!!! Couldn’t recommend this tour more. Although we didn’t get to see any whales (late in the season so this was kind of expected), the trip was so much fun that I didn’
