Albany and the Great Southern
Albany is a delightful year-round holiday destination with restaurants, bars, museums, heritage buildings, flowering pastures and pristine beaches. From vantage points around the coast, it is possible to watch dolphins and sea lions frolic in Princess Royal Harbour, and migrating whales can be seen between July and October.
The Great Southern is home to enchanting karri forests that meet the rugged southern coastline in a striking contrast of nature. The region has prosperous mixed agricultural areas with a variety of nature-based attractions, including wildflowers, whale watching, forests, wineries and secluded beaches.
From late June to September the waters of Bremer Bay turn into a playground for southern right and humpback whales. Snorkel or dive to spot elusive sea dragons or take a charter to Bremer Canyon to see the amazing killer whales between late January and April.
