Delightful morning on the water

Published on Jan, 2025

A very engaging 4 hour trip on the water- beautiful views across Oyster Bay & up river, lots of local & historical snippets, pelicans & ospreys galore (a pair of eagles too) & a welcome cuppa & homemade damper following on from tasters of oysters, strawberries & honey. Our captain, Jack, knows his stuff & is full of mischief & fun!

Unmissable River Cruise in Albany, WA

Published on Dec, 2024

You can’t choose the weather here in Albany, but you can certainly choose what to do. I definitely recommend the river cruise on the Kalgan Queen. 4hrs with Capt. Jack and his stories just isn’t enough in my opinion. I believe him when he states there are so many more to share. If you take your sense of humour with you this trip is unforgettable. The stunning scenery around Emu Point, Oyster Harbour and the Kalgan River speaks for itself. The historic stories an added bonus of the lives before us. Mix in a wonderful collection of birdlife and their interactions ticks another box. We were very fortunate to spot a small pod of dolphins. This was not a whale spotting cruise. Not the season and they don’t go into Oyster Harbour. Please be aware of this and appreciate the beauty in a river cruise. Morning tea or coffee is provided whilst the boat is stopped. Mum’s warm damper is something deliciously special. Don’t miss out on an Albany Rock Oyster tasting - the best I’ve ever had. For something sweet local strawberries and honey from the family hives. Whether local or visiting I truly believe you won’t be disappointed. PS Yes there is a toilet on board And don’t forget a jumper or jacket just in case.

A great River Cruise experience in Albany

Published on Nov, 2024

This is a "must do" when visiting Albany. Captain Jack took us on a 4 hour cruise up the Kalgan River which included a delicious warm Damper and tea or coffee as well as a taste of the local Oysters & Strawberries. With a extremely informative commentary, a bit of humour and even some poetry it was a fantastic experience.

Great Way to Spend a Day in Albany!

Published on Mar, 2024

We enjoyed the Albany Wildlife and Scenic Cruise on the Kalgan river very much! The captain, Jack, was very knowledgeable about the area and the local wildlife, and very entertaining! Doing anything is worth doing it right… and Jack was very thorough and creative with his tour! We would recommend it to anyone visiting Albany, Australia!

A must do while in Albany

Published on Feb, 2024

Excellent trip. Beautiful scenery. Expectional Tour Guide making the trip funny, entertaining, and educational. Seeing birds of prey up close was amazing but the best bit of the trip was interaction with the Pelicans. Thank you Jack for an awesome day.
