ALBANY WA TOURS & THINGS TO DO

Albany is where Western Australia's wild southern coastline meets some of the country's most important history.

Set on the southern coast of Western Australia, Albany combines dramatic granite cliffs, beautiful beaches, wildlife, whale watching and a fascinating connection with Australia's ANZAC story.

And while you could spend several days exploring Albany independently, joining a local tour is one of the best ways to see more of the region without worrying about the driving, planning or missing the good stuff.

BlueSun Travel offers a selection of the best Albany tours and experiences, from whale watching and boat cruises to sightseeing tours exploring the spectacular coastline and Albany's remarkable history.

ALBANY TOURS

Albany is not short on things to see.

The coastline around the city is spectacular, with the Southern Ocean pounding against ancient granite formations at The Gap and Natural Bridge in Torndirrup National Park. Inland and around King George Sound, there are beaches, forests, wildlife and historic sites to discover.

For visitors, the easiest way to experience the highlights is to choose a tour that matches your interests.

Popular Albany tours and experiences

Whale Watching Tours
Albany is one of Western Australia's best places to look for migrating whales. Between June and October, whales can be seen in the waters around Albany, with humpback and southern right whales among the species encountered.

Albany Sightseeing Tours
See the dramatic coastline, The Gap, Natural Bridge, beaches and other highlights without having to navigate Albany's roads yourself.

Albany Boat Tours
Get out on the water and experience King George Sound and Albany's coastline from a completely different perspective.

History & ANZAC Tours
Albany played an important role in Australia's military history. More than 41,000 Australian and New Zealand troops departed from King George Sound for the First World War, and the National ANZAC Centre now tells their stories through an immersive visitor experience.

WHALE WATCHING IN ALBANY

If you're visiting Albany between June and October, whale watching should be high on your list.

The sheltered waters around Albany provide important habitat for migrating whales, and the animals can be seen from various coastal viewpoints as well as from dedicated whale watching tours. Dolphins and seals are also regularly spotted around Albany's waters.

A whale watching tour in Albany takes you onto the water for a much closer look at these magnificent animals while allowing you to experience the spectacular southern coastline at the same time.

Wildlife encounters are, of course, never guaranteed. That's part of the nature of whale watching — but when a whale appears beside the boat, you'll understand why people come back for it.

EXPLORE ALBANY'S WILD COAST

Albany's coastline is the star of the show.

At The Gap, a viewing platform extends over a dramatic section of the Southern Ocean, while nearby Natural Bridge demonstrates the enormous power of the waves that have shaped this granite coastline over millions of years. Both are within Torndirrup National Park.

The coastline is particularly spectacular when the Southern Ocean is running hard. This is not a gentle, postcard version of Western Australia — it is big, wild and occasionally rather intimidating.

That's exactly why it is worth seeing.

ALBANY'S HISTORY & ANZAC STORY

Albany is one of Western Australia's oldest settlements and has a particularly important place in Australia's military history.

The National ANZAC Centre, located within Albany Heritage Park, overlooks King George Sound — the departure point for more than 41,000 Australian and New Zealand servicemen and women heading to the First World War.

The nearby Princess Royal Fortress and other historic sites add another layer to Albany's story, while the city's former whaling industry provides a very different glimpse into its past.

For history enthusiasts, an Albany tour can bring these places together far more effectively than simply ticking them off a map.

WHY VISIT ALBANY?

Albany is one of those Western Australian destinations where the journey is almost as good as the destination.

You can spend the morning looking for whales, explore the rugged coastline in the afternoon and finish the day overlooking King George Sound. Add the National ANZAC Centre, historic sites, beautiful beaches and the surrounding Great Southern countryside and you have a destination with considerably more depth than its size suggests.

Whether you're looking for Albany whale watching, sightseeing, boat tours or a guided exploration of the region, BlueSun Travel can help you find the right experience.
