    Silver Star Cruises

    After whaling ended in 1978, whales slowly began returning to the waters of Albany. They're now here to the extent that it can sometimes be hard not to see southern right and humpback whales near the bays and coves of King George Sound from July to mid-October. Silver Star Cruises runs regular whale-watching trips in season.
