Itinerary

Exact itineraries vary depending on the tour type. 

Meet at Bremer Bay Boat Harbor and board the comfortable and spacious catamaran Alison Maree. During the morning tea you will receive entertaining background information through our unique multimedia presentations. After about 90 minutes, you will usually reach the hotspot for orcas and encounter a variety of other marine life along the way.

As soon as the orcas appear, you can take photos while a crew member provides detailed information about their behavior, hunting skills and migration patterns. A professional photographer captures the moments in high-resolution images, so you can fully enjoy the experience without having to worry about getting perfect shots.

During the tour, The Local Native Catering Company provides fresh food throughout the day: sandwiches, wraps, seasonal fruit, savory snacks and sweet treats – including gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan options. Soft drinks, tea, coffee, Milo and fresh, chilled filtered water are also available on board.
