    We enjoyed the Albany Wildlife and Scenic Cruise on the Kalgan river very much! The captain, Jack, was very knowledgeable about the area and the local wildlife, and very entertaining! Doing anything is worth doing it right… and Jack was very thorough and creative with his tour! We would recommend it to anyone visiting Albany, Australia!

    Jack’s commentary was fantastic. Very informative and highly entertaining. He was also very efficient and organised. A great morning out.

    Worth the trip!

    Guide ultra competent et impliqué

    Vraiment une belle experience! Attention simplement, contrairement a ce que viator decrit, il n’y a pas de promenade en chariot pour voir les kangourous… Nous avons été enchantés par cette journee: notre capitaine est un local, avec des explications precises, des anecdotes, et une connaissance de la faune et de la flore impressionnante. Les petites attentions sur le bateau nous ont aussi ravies… n’hesitez pas, ce serait dommage de manquer cette excursion!!!
