Ancient Land Tours’ whale watching tours takes guests from Fowlers Bay to the very edge of the Nullarbor and the iconic Bunda Cliffs. Our local expert guide will show you special viewing places on our spectacular remote coastline. 

Southern Right Whales visit the region each year to give birth, mate and socialise. The peak season to see these whales is July, August and September. The whales start to arrive in June and depart early October. They spend the rest of the time travelling to or feeding offshore in the Southern Ocean.  The early arrivals in July will be mostly adults. You may be lucky enough to observe these 20+ tonne mammals mating (look for groups rolling around on the surface).  Late July you can commonly see the mothers swimming along the cliffs with their young calves at their side.  In August there can be as many as 70 whales in the area visible from the platform.  By the time the whales leave in October the calves have grown and have become strong enough to join their mothers on the long migration south.

There are unparalleled bird watching opportunities, coastal raptors have been observed, and depending on the time of the year we may be lucky to see bustards as well.  On land we may see dingos, wombats, and kangaroos. 

Lunch, and morning and afternoon tea is included, with departures from Ceduna by arrangement.

Consider, as an optional extra, a Fowlers Bay whale watching cruise, or a scenic flight over the Head of Bight to see even more whales [select these extras during checkout].
