Each year Humpback and Southern Right whales make the long journey from Antarctica to the warm pristine waters of the Margaret River region.

Flinders Bay in Augusta is the "first port of call" for many whales that come to feed, breed and play from June to September. Whale watching here is a very unique experience because it’s one of the few places in the world where you can observe Southern Right and Humpback whales interacting.

Augusta itself is a best kept secret.  Here you can holiday in comfort without the crowds, there's so much to do and it's not rare to find your footsteps are the first on one of the many beaches. Perfect for a romantic stay, a get together with friends, and adventure holiday or a family getaway, Augusta provides the perfect blend of activities and relaxation. 

From September to December you can whale watch in the north of the Margaret River region in the sheltered Geographe Bay. Endangered Blue Whales have also been spotted here.

Whale watching in the Margaret River region is a truly magical experience. You can spot these incredible creatures from many scenic vantage points (the binoculars at teh Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse are great) or get up close on a whale watching tour.
