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 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.

King George Sound Safari - 2 hour tour
Captain Mark has a very quirky sense of humour and ensured our tour was fun and very informative - the quiz adds a little competition to the experience 🥳
Unfortunately the weather wasn’t great but Captain Mark had us all entertained regardless and it’s very obvious he is very knowledgeable about the history of this beautiful place and has some fantastic photos he shared with the group
We all had a great time and would definitely recommend King George Sound Safari tours for anyone visiting Albany

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.

Great fun and highly recommend We recently did the Summer Safari Sea trip and had a great afternoon.Despite some windy conditions Captain Mark did an outstanding job navigating the harbour and making the experience as comfortable as possible.
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.

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 !!

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! You can't predict what any creature will do, and unfortunately we didn't see whales, but still had an absolutely top day and would recommend this tour with Mark to everyone.

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!

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!

Great morning out with Mark on his Young Salty Dog boat. Had 11 people on the boat and was plenty of room for everyone. Saw a lot of the sights like Cheyne 2, the Quarantine Station, Volcanic Rock and Mark gave us some history on each place of interest. High recommended if in Albany

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.
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 :-)!

Magnificent tour I have been travelling for 4 months from Victoria and this was by far the best experience I have had. Captain Mark was fun and chill which made for a relaxed atmosphere. 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. A definite bucket list experienceread moreread less

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

Informative and entertaining. Captain Mark ensured that this tour was fun from start to finish. His commentary was informative and humorous. The atmosphere on board was great. We didn’t see whales but a pod of dolphins swam alongside, which was magic. We also saw cormorants, pelicans, sea lions and learnt a lot about the harbour, it’s history and the buildings along the shore.read moreread less

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!

Mark was informative about the local area, offered fun facts about whales! & made sure my mum had a fun trip even playing some Rod Stewart music for her! Our family had such a great time with some unforgettable memories made! We Will be recommending Mark and his business to others along with rebooking when whale season is upon us!

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

When Easterlies blow, get ready for a fantasticly bouncy ride, none of that calm drifting on glassy waters of other days. Great fun for 2 hours of "many shades of green and blue waters" edged with foamy ocean spray.

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 and knowledgeable who even let us driving the boat! My five year old boy throughly enjoyed driving boat for the first time. Thanks Mark.

We went on the Whale Watching cruise with Mark on our Anniversary & although we didn't see any whales we had an amazing time the cruise was relaxed full of fun and Mark was full of knowledge we got to see Dolphins close up, a penguin and sealions.... we all had a go of being captain of the boat which was great. The water was really calm & clear and we got some amazing shots of the dolphins who put on a great show! Mark was such a funny guy we had a great time would highly recommend going on a tour with King George Sound Safaris . We will be back again next time we are visiting Albany.

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.

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!
