The tranquil waters off the beautiful town of Dunsborough, provide the perfect backdrop for travellers to regularly observe Humpback Whales, Southern Right Whales and the possibility of spotting the largest ever creature on earth, the Blue Whale, as they escort calves born in southward to Antarctica from October onwards.
It is common for these majestic creatures to travel close to shore, as they nurse and rest with their calves in the protected bays, renowned for their crystal blue waters and emerald seagrass meadows. Aside from the incredible whale encounters, it is also common for guests to spot Long-nosed Fur Seals, White-bellied Sea Eagles, Ospreys, petrels, shearwaters, Australasian Gannets and dolphins.
