Whale watching cruise and hillarys boat harbour day trip from perth

Head north from Perth to Hillarys Boat Harbour for a whale-watching cruise off the Sunset Coast. Spot dolphins and whales, and then spend the afternoon one of two ways: you can choose to return to Perth directly after your cruise, or stay at Hillarys and see more wildlife at the Aquarium of Western Australia.

After pickup from your Perth hotel, board a small, air-conditioned coach and travel 15 miles (25 km) north of Perth to Hillarys Boat Harbour on the Sunset Coast, listening to commentary about the area from your driver. When you arrive at Hillarys, a popular marina and entertainment destination, step aboard the boat for your two-hour whale-spotting tour. This tour runs seasonally from mid-September to the end of November to coincide with the whales’ annual migration along the Western Australia coast.

Your cruise will return at about 1:45pm to Hillarys, where two options await you: return to Perth straight away, or spend free time at Hillarys to have lunch (own expense), relax in the sunshine and visit the Aquarium of Western Australia (entry included). The aquarium’s highlights include seals, dolphins and rays from Western Australia’s turquoise waters. If you choose this option, you’ll depart for Perth at approximately 4:30pm.
