SEA LION TOURS IN JURIEN BAY
The Australian Sea Lions are the rarest of all pinniped species, with approximately only 8,000 to 10,000 of them left globally.
These sea lions inhabit several islands within the Jurien Bay Marine Park, one of the largest marine parks in Western Australia. These islands are a quick 15-30 minute boat journey from our departure point. Along the way, you'll learn about the stunning Jurien Bay Marine Park and its incredible beauty.
The hustle and bustle of marine life on the ocean floor beneath schools of fish in the turquoise waters beckon accomplished and learner snorkelers to the adventure. The underwater creatures of the coral and limestone reefs don’t take much notice of their snorkel-wearing visitors, which clears the way for a chance to eyeball them at close quarters. This captivating marine life experience at Jurien Bay is renowned by snorkelers near and far.
Our trips are safe and educational for all ages. We pride ourselves on giving all our customers the most unique experience Jurien Bay has to offer.
ACCESSABILITY
Our boats are wheelchair accessible (for wheelchairs up to 600mm wide), via the floating pontoons and side-entry doors. There is plenty of seating and space available for the elderly, mobility impaired and wheelchairs.
