During the 1.5 hour journey to the site expect to see a wide variety of marine species including seabirds, dolphins, sharks, tuna and seals. The pièce de résistance is of course, the awe-inspiring killer whales.

Orcas are highly social animals that travel in groups called pods of between 5 - 30 whales. The animals are thought to have a complex form of communication with different dialects from one pod to another, and you will be able to hear these haunting noises via the boats hydrophone.

Your friendly, professional and informative crew have marine science backgrounds to ensure your questions are answered and you learn everything possible to have an unforgettable experience. Tour numbers are kept small so everyone on board has the best opportunity to see the wildlife.

Incredible seeing the orcas

Kelly 31 January 2025

Such a brilliant day out seeing the Orcas off Bremer Bay. We saw a hammerhead shark, 2 pods of orcas a few seals and even a penguin. The staff were so lovely, I cannot rate them high enough. So friendly and knowledgeable and helpful to people like myself who did get a bit sea sick. It didn't affect the experience at all though. Such a special once in a lifetime activity.

Unforgettable whale watching off Bremer Bay

Miriam Rudd 9 April 2024

Fantastic day. Safe boat and safe captain. Good crew. Saw lots and lots of Orcas, huge pod of Pilot Whales, Big pod of Common Dolphins and 1 lonely seal. Excellent day and very informative. I used my red balloon funds for an experience of a life time.

Insane spectacle and unforgettable experience

Tom 5 March 2024

My wife and I loved this tour. The sun was out at the beginning so shorts and tee was fine but got windy and cold towards the end so definitely do pack a jacket. The whales were very interactive and curious. We saw around 2 different pods and even a little baby orca. We also saw a fur seal, sea lions, an albatross and a pod of pilot whales in the distance. We were also well catered for as vegans.

Orca canyon tour

Pat 28 January 2024

The weather was perfect . The crew were helpful and looked after everyone on boarding giving a lot of commentary and knowledge of the Orca life as we followed them on their movements of the day. The boat was well set up for everyone’s comfort with nice food and drinks through out the day. Would recommend the tour to anyone that would like to experience these magnificent killer whales.

Trevor 14 January 2022

An extremely rewarding day, lots of orcas with our marine biologists crew giving excellent information on the life and ecology of the family pods. Each of the crew were fantastic and caring. A real life experience that we can thoroughly recommend to anyone.

The wow experience! Without the climax!!!

Karen 22 April 2021

What a day, starting out thinking I was going to see orcas in the only way you should see them! Free in their natural habitat and within their pod. Before living in WA thought it was only possible in Canada or NZ. Couldn’t believe when I googled seeing killer whales that Bremer Bay came up! This is a long life dream to see. Even being a apex predator couldn’t wait for my breath to be taken away. Even if I seen them hunt their dinner, thought this would be a honour watching them teach their young how to hunt and survive. Highly intelligent beautiful mammals!!! Anyway being on my honeymoon and receiving not one but TWO RED BALLOON vouchers as wedding gifts made this dream more possible. Unfortunately it was the end of the season week, so there were no Orcas to be seen but still a incredible day seeing sperm whales and watching their majestic tales surfacing and disappearing for another 1 hour and half before they resurface! Then another highlight of the day was seeing pilot whales hundreds of them! Calling them in with whistles which attracted them so close to the boat. The staff on board where so knowledgeable and helpful all day making the trip enjoyable and educational can’t thank them enough! My partner was no feeling the best and they made sure that she was okay and tried to help as much as they could. Like I said No Orcas for the day so they guarantee no Orcas get another day free which you can use 2 years after you have been. So I will still book again next season maybe this time I’ll book before the end of the season! Can’t thank Red Balloon enough and Naturalist Charters Bremer Canyon Killer Whale and Pelagic Expeditions! Plus the people giving us this lovely gift from Red Balloon!

The killer whales experience was fantastic.

We had a fantastic orca experience out of Bremer bay. The captain and staff on the Alison maree were brilliant.
