About Bremer Bay Orca Expeditions
Bremer Bay Orca Expeditions is a specialist marine wildlife tour operator based at Bremer Bay Boat Harbour in the Shire of Jerramungup, Western Australia. It operates seasonal full-day expeditions to the Bremer Canyon, about 50 kilometres offshore, one of the few places in Australia where killer whales (orcas) reliably aggregate. Notable for its research-focused approach with marine biologists on board, it offers visitors the chance to observe orcas and other pelagic wildlife in open ocean waters.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a full-day open-ocean boat expedition departing from Bremer Bay Boat Harbour to the Bremer Canyon. The vessel travels offshore to deep waters where pods of orcas are located with the help of spotter planes and research data. On board, marine biologists provide commentary and identification. Sightings may include orcas, sperm whales, pilot whales, dolphins, sharks and seabirds. The experience is entirely boat-based in exposed ocean conditions with no landing.
