Explore the Waters of Geographe Bay and Cape Naturaliste

At Dundee Marine Charters, we believe the best wildlife encounters happen away from the crowds. With a maximum of just 10 guests on board, every tour offers a relaxed, immersive experience led by an experienced local skipper with decades spent on the water.

From the awe-inspiring migration of Humpback, Blue Whales and Southern Right whales to playful dolphins, seals and abundant seabirds, every journey reveals something extraordinary. Along the way, you'll discover the spectacular coastline near the popular town of Dunsborough - the pristine waters of Meelup Regional Park and the rich natural and cultural history of one of Western Australia's most beautiful marine environments.

Whether you're joining us for a whale watching adventure, eco tour, private charter or sunset cruise, our family-run business is dedicated to sharing the wildlife, landscapes and stories that make this region so special.

Come aboard and experience nature at its most unforgettable.
