Monkey Mia operator cruising Shark Bay on the sailing catamaran Aristocat 2, with dugong and dolphin wildlife cruises, sunset cruises and private charters.
Monkey Mia · WA · 0 reviewed vessels
Perfect Nature Cruises departs Monkey Mia Jetty in the Shark Bay World Heritage Area aboard Aristocat 2, an 18-metre sailing catamaran. The morning marine life cruise looks for dugongs, dolphins, turtles and rays, and there's also a 1.5-hour sunset cruise, an afternoon cruise in WA school holidays and a four-hour Big Lagoon barbecue trip.
The operator says it's the only cruise company licensed to interact with marine mammals in the Monkey Mia reserve, and guides explain the Shark Bay ecosystem along the way. The crew sail when the wind allows and motor-sail otherwise, and the boat has indoor and outdoor seating and a licensed bar.
It suits wildlife watchers of all kinds, and the operator states all activities are wheelchair accessible. Private charters for up to 60 guests start from one hour. Cruises need at least 10 adults to run, so check before planning your day around a departure.
