Covering a third of the continent, Western Australia feels like a world of its own. Its 12,000 km of coastline runs from tropical Ningaloo Reef—where whale sharks gather in the shallows—to the stormy cliffs of the Southern Ocean. Humpbacks migrate past Perth's beaches, leafy seadragons haunt kelp forests, and remote reefs glow with corals few divers ever see. Vast, empty landscapes on land are matched by so much frontier still largely unexplored.
A family-owned eco-tourism company based in Perth running responsible whale-watching tours along Western Australia's coastline. Their trips are paired with onboard marine biology education and data collection, supporting research on humpback, southern right, and orca populations while raising public awareness about marine conservation.
Each summer, nutrient-rich currents rise from the depths of the Bremer Canyon, sparking one of the ocean’s great spectacles. Here, orcas converge by the hundreds to hunt deep-sea squid, joined by sharks, dolphins, and clouds of seabirds. It’s a rare gathering, visible only in a handful of places worldwide, and it has turned this stretch of Southern Ocean into a hotspot for one of Earth’s most dramatic marine wildlife events.
Perth is Australia’s sunniest capital, where urban life spills right into the Indian Ocean. Offshore, Rottnest Island’s reefs shelter sea lions, dolphins, and the famous quokkas, while migrating whales cruise past city beaches each year. On land, kangaroos graze in parks just outside the city and kookaburras call from backyard trees, making the wild feel impossibly close. Perth is a rare mix—Mediterranean climate, world-class diving, and a gateway to some of the most remote and untamed coasts in the country.
