Marine Life Encounters

Meet Western Australia's dolphins, whales, penguins and more in just three days. You'll find truly out-of-this-world encounters with marine life within a two-and-a-half hour radius of Perth. Start with the graceful humpback whales, then take an exhilarating swim with dolphins, before ending your journey at Australia’s greatest artificial reef – the Busselton Jetty. The best time to enjoy this itinerary is from September to December to coincide with whale and dolphin tour seasons. Please note; - Dolphin tours must be pre-booked via the tour operator. - The dolphins are generally very consistent in their habits and behaviours, however, as they are wild animals, sightings and interactions are not 100% guaranteed. See the tour operators’ terms and conditions for details. - Tours of Busselton Jetty Observatory depart on the hour all year round (9am to 4pm September to April and 10am to 3pm May to August). - Ferries and cruise tours to Penguin Island operate between 10am and 3pm (September to June). - All tours by boat are subject to weather conditions....
