Board Santosha, a spacious vessel designed to carry up to 45 passengers but limited to 23 for whale watching, ensuring a more intimate tour experience. Enjoy the huge back deck, venture to the bow, or climb up to the flybridge for 360-degree views with the captain as he searches for whales. After breeding in the warmer northern waters, approximately 35,000 humpbacks and their calves head south to Arctic waters, using Geographe Bay as their final resting area before the long swim. Enjoy watching the whales in their natural environment—playing, resting, and swimming alongside their young calves in the sheltered, calm waters of Geographe Bay. Tours run from late August until late October. Please note, that Dunsborough whale watching involves beach loading onto a dinghy for transfer to the vessel. For those with mobility issues or requiring wheelchair access, the Busselton option is recommended. The Busselton vessel and loading are wheelchair and mobility-friendly, utilizing a stable jetty and loading ramp.
