5.00We are local to Albany now and we waited for friends to visit so we could do it together and it was excellent. Jack was amazing, relaxed, informative and entertaining. He offers a very special tour. Loved meeting Perch the pelican and his family too. Go ahead book it, you will love it.

Best Experience on the Kalgan Queen

5.00We booked to go on the Kalgan Queen for our Wedding Anniversary. On the day of our trip, we received a phone call to say the weather was not good and would have to cancel. We were disappointed but understood and really wouldn't have enjoyed the rain and the cold weather. We didn't rebook for about five days. In the meantime they tried to contact us to rebook or refund our money. Due to family commitments in Perth we didn't respond and they refunded our money when they didn't hear from us. I then rebooked after 5 days and was able to get seats on the Friday. We had a wonderful trip up the Kalgan River, enjoyed Capain Jack's humor and knowledge of the history of Albany. He made the whole trip fun and exciting. We were invited to eat oysters from the local oyster farm and strawberries from the local strawberry farm as well as having a cuppa with their homemade damper, which was wonderful. The whole trip was an adventure with Perch the Pelican and his friends, the local osprey displaying the way they catch their fish. This is a memory we will treasure and tell all our friends and family, when in Albany, the Kalgan Queen tour is a must. Thank you so much. This was our second trip, as good as our first.

5.00Was enjoyable to learn about Albany, Emu Point, Oyster Harbour and the Kalgan River areas. Some very fascinating facts even my partner was not aware of and she is a local. The damper was amazing, yum.

4.00A peaceful time on the river learning about the Albany area and wildlife. Our captain Jack was incredibly knowledgeable and interesting and a few funny stories along the way. Eagles dropped in for a fish as did osprey and just a few pelicans, a pod of dolphins to add to the enjoyment.
Cruising the Kalgan

5.00My husband and I give our Grandson experiences instead of presents for his birthday and so we booked a Kalgan River Cruise for his 14th birthday. The cruise was excellent not only the viewing of birds etc but the commentary was full of history and was given in a very entertaining way. Our host was extremely friendly and full of local knowledge. We were in a group of 23 people and thoroughly enjoyed it. The cuppa and damper was also enjoyable and I would highly recommend the trip to all ages.
Entertaining and informative cruise

5.00What an amazing morning! Starting with meeting Perch the Pelican through learning about local history and geography and sea birds, our group from Auckland found it fascinating. Plus trying local oysters and strawberries and enjoying a tea/coffee with Captain Jack’s mother’s home made damper. We had a free day on our highly organised tour of WA and were lucky enough to see a brochure for the Kalgan Queen. Four hours of fun guaranteed.
