The protected waters of Geographe Bay provide the perfect backdrop to search for dolphins and view a resident seal colony as they sunbake on a rock island and play in the water. Humpback Whales are also sighted during the months of November and early December.
The coastline also boasts some beautiful sea caves, boulder rock formations, turquoise bays, white sandy beaches and an ocean side view of Cape Naturaliste and the lighthouse.
This cruise also offers an opportunity for you to swim during the day. Gourmet food produced from local products is a feature of the south west and is extended to the boat cruises. Indulge in Margaret river cheeses, Eagle Bay Olives, Venison Farm Chorizo and more. Also learn about indigenous history of the area.

Whale Watching with Legend Charters. Departs from Port Geographe just a couple of minutes away....
Humpback, Southern Right, Minke and Blue Whales use our little corner of the world as a nursery, playground and rest haven during their migration up and down the coast each year. They are often as curious about us as we are about them, coming close to the boat to check us out. Both Dolphins and Seals are also regularly sighted during our tours.
We keep group sizes small, so everyone gets a good view and have a huge covered viewing platform for your comfort. Our knowledgeable marine commentary will keep you informed and our friendly staff are here to assist you. We are able to boast a 100% success rate for sightings in 2010!
We are proud of our growing reputation for providing quality service with generous hospitality.
Families and children are especially welcome and (weather permitting) children will be offered the opportunity to take a turn at the wheel on the flybridge on the way in!! Our crew offer a full tour of the boat and equipment for all interested passengers. Join us for the whale watching eco-cruise of a lifetime!

• A tour of the beautiful bays of the area
• Commentary from our knowledgeable crew about local marine wildlife
• A generous morning or afternoon tea including cakes, biscuits, fresh fruit, plunger coffee, an assortment of black, green and herbal teas and other beverages.
