Perth’s coastline is one of the best places in Australia to witness the annual whale migration. Between June and November, thousands of humpback whales make their way along Western Australia’s shores, offering unforgettable opportunities for visitors to see these gentle giants up close. Metro Hotel Perth and Metro Hotel Perth City provide the perfect base for your whale watching adventure, with exclusive guest savings on tours operated by Whale Watch Western Australia.
Looking for unforgettable things to do in Perth this winter? Add whale watching in Perth to the top of your itinerary. Between June and November, Western Australia’s coastline comes alive as thousands of humpback whales pass by – and Perth is one of the best places in Australia to see them up close. Whether you’re a local planning a staycation or a visitor searching for affordable accommodation in Perth, this is your chance to witness something truly extraordinary.
Each year, over 45,000 humpback whales migrate from Antarctica to the warm northern waters of the Kimberley. As they journey north, they pass through Perth’s waters – often resting and playing along the way.
Expect to see astonishing full-body breaches, tail slaps, and curious calves learning the ways of the ocean. It’s one of the most spectacular wildlife encounters on offer and a must-do when exploring Perth in winter.
For the ultimate Perth whale watching experience, we recommend Whale Watch Western Australia. This trusted family-run company offers premium tours from Fremantle – just a short drive from Metro Hotels’ two convenient Perth locations.
Onboard, guests enjoy 360-degree views from multiple decks, a hydrophone to hear whale songs, and expert commentary from marine biologists. Whether you’re visiting with kids, friends, or a partner, this is one of the best winter activities in Perth.
