The boat slips from the marina and the city falls away: salt air, the gull-call rhythm, and a swollen estuary that pushes against the hull. On this 2-hour 15-minute sightseeing cruise through Bindjareb Noongar Country, passengers move along canal cuttings into the wide Peel-Harvey Estuary, the water opening up to reveal wetlands, reed beds and a sculptural secret only visible from the water.

The boat slips from the marina and the city falls away: salt air, the gull-call rhythm, and a swollen estuary that pushes against the hull. On this 2-hour 15-minute sightseeing cruise through Bindjareb Noongar Country, passengers move along canal cuttings into the wide Peel-Harvey Estuary, the water opening up to reveal wetlands, reed beds and a sculptural secret only visible from the water.
Thomas Dambo’s recycled-wood Giants are a contemporary cultural layer on an older landscape — artworks created to highlight nature and reuse. The cruise focuses on the fourth Giant, Seba’s Song, positioned to face the water; from the boat you get a full 360° view that land visitors cannot. Geologically the estuary is shallow and expansive (roughly 136 km²), with tidal channels carving sandbanks and creating sheltered nursery zones that attract dolphins, pelicans and migratory waders. The route passes Ramsar-listed Creery Wetlands and Port Mandurah’s canal-front homes, while commentary connects local ecology to Bindjareb Noongar Country’s cultural history.
Practically: embarkation requires independent movement across a narrow walkway and a ladder-style staircase; the vessel has onboard restrooms and offers a dolphin guarantee. Expect moderate motion on open water, bring sun protection and a steady grip when moving about the deck. Binoculars and a telephoto lens improve wildlife viewing. The operator recommends arriving early, listening to onboard commentary, and keeping voices low when near wildlife to reduce disturbance.
Seba’s Song is positioned so its complete profile can only be viewed from the water—this cruise provides the exclusive 360° perspective.
The tour offers a dolphin guarantee as part of inclusions; sightings depend on animal presence and conditions, and crew will provide alternatives if none are seen.
Infants and small children may ride in a pram or stroller, but all guests must be able to move independently for boarding; infants must sit on an adult’s lap.
The boat has a narrow walkway and ladder-like steps; while some assistance options are noted, passengers with significant mobility limitations should check with the operator in advance.
