Kalgan Queen Scenic Cruises a four hour sheltered water wildlife tour daily fun.

About this tour

Set out across Oyster Harbour and the Kalgan River on a four-hour cruise that gets you eye-level with local wildlife while a skipper shares stories about Albany's landscape and ANZAC heritage. After nearly two decades of regular passage, the crew knows these waters intimately—and the animals have grown accustomed to the vessel. A glass-bottomed section lets you watch what lives below without getting wet. Morning tea and hot savoury damper included.

Highlights

• Glass bottom for underwater viewing without diving gear
• Close wildlife encounters on sheltered, protected waters
• Local skipper commentary on Albany's ANZAC significance
• Eighteen years of established animal habituation
• Morning tea and hot savoury damper provided
• Flat terrain suitable for all fitness levels

What to expect

You'll board a stable vessel designed for slow, deliberate cruising through calm harbour and river channels. The skipper offers running commentary that blends natural history with local anecdotes—expect humour alongside genuine insight. Wildlife—birdlife, marine creatures—approaches the boat without alarm because they've seen it hundreds of times before. The glass bottom section reveals the underwater world, whether you're spotting fish or observing the riverbed. Bring a camera and patience; this is observation-based rather than action-packed. You'll finish with hot refreshments on deck or inside.
