Get up close to killer whales – a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
Tick off a true bucket-list adventure on this spectacular journey to Bremer Bay, one of the world’s best locations to witness orcas in the wild. Set against a backdrop of white sandy beaches and turquoise waters, you will spend your days exploring this remote southern gem and experiencing the unforgettable thrill of seeing killer whales up close on the famed Bremer Canyon expedition. With peaceful accommodation, local heritage and a touch of regional flavour along the way, this short break delivers rare wildlife encounters and lasting memories.
Itinerary
Day 1. Perth to Bremer Bay (D)
We collect you from home and begin our journey south through Williams and Wagin, taking in views of the Wheatbelt along the way. Pause for morning tea at the popular Williams Woolshed before continuing to Katanning for lunch at your leisure. By late afternoon we arrive in Bremer Bay, where we check in to our rammed-earth resort, nestled in tranquil bushland overlooking the Wellstead Estuary.
3 nights: Bremer Bay Resort, Bremer Bay
Day 2. Bremer History and Local Flavours (BLD)
Step into the past with a self-guided visit to the historic Wellstead Homestead, a living museum with thousands of colonial-era artefacts and exhibits. Enjoy a light lunch onsite before heading into town for a relaxing afternoon drink at Bremer Bay Brewery. The rest of the day is yours to unwind and take in the peace and beauty of this coastal setting.
Day 3. Orca Experience (BLD)
This is the moment you have been waiting for. Today we join the Naturaliste Charters crew for the renowned Bremer Canyon Killer Whale Expedition — a full day on the water in search of the largest known orca aggregation in the Southern Hemisphere. Witness these apex predators as they glide, hunt and socialise in the deep blue, accompanied by expert commentary, research insights and plenty of marine life surprises. With meals served onboard, you will return to shore with a heart full of wonder and a camera full of memories.
Day 4. Bremer Bay to Perth (BL)
After breakfast, we begin our return journey through the Wheatbelt. Pause in Gnowangerup for morning tea before enjoying a farewell two-course buffet lunch at the Williams Woolshed. On arrival in Perth, our small charter vehicles will deliver you safely home, ending an unforgettable Villa discovery holiday.

Bremer Bay Canyon Orca Experience important notes:
If you are prone to seasickness, it may be helpful to take anti-seasickness medication before your trip, following confirmation from your doctor.
Staying outside in the fresh air and keeping your eyes on the horizon, towards land and avoiding heavy meals before the tour can help alleviate seasickness.
Dress in layers as it can be colder at sea than on land. We recommend you bring sun protection, (sunglasses, hat, sunscreen) a camera, binoculars for better viewing and a reusable water bottle and keep cup.
Please note the appearance of wildlife is not guaranteed and cruise is dependent on favourable weather conditions.
