Unmissable River Cruise in Albany, WA - You can’t choose the weather here in Albany, but you can certainly choose what to do. I definitely recommend the river cruise on the Kalgan Queen. 4hrs with Capt. Jack and his stories just isn’t enough in my opinion. I believe him when he states there are so many more to share. If you take your sense of humour with you this trip is unforgettable. The stunning scenery around Emu Point, Oyster Harbour and the Kalgan River speaks for itself. The historic stories an added bonus of the lives before us. Mix in a wonderful collection of birdlife and their interactions ticks another box. We were very fortunate to spot a small pod of dolphins. This was not a whale spotting cruise. Not the season and they don’t go into Oyster Harbour. Please be aware of this and appreciate the beauty in a river cruise. Morning tea or coffee is provided whilst the boat is stopped. Mum’s warm damper is something deliciously special. Don’t miss out on an Albany Rock Oyster tasting - the best I’ve ever had. For something sweet local strawberries and honey from the family hives. Whether local or visiting I truly believe you won’t be disappointed. PS Yes there is a toilet on board And don’t forget a jumper or jacket just in case.

A great River Cruise experience in Albany - This is a "must do" when visiting Albany. Captain Jack took us on a 4 hour cruise up the Kalgan River which included a delicious warm Damper and tea or coffee as well as a taste of the local Oysters & Strawberries. With a extremely informative commentary, a bit of humour and even some poetry it was a fantastic experience.

Great Way to Spend a Day in Albany! - 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!

A must do while in Albany - Excellent trip. Beautiful scenery. Expectional Tour Guide making the trip funny, entertaining, and educational. Seeing birds of prey up close was amazing but the best bit of the trip was interaction with the Pelicans. Thank you Jack for an awesome day.

Don't miss the opportunity to cruise with Kalgan Queen - Brilliant 4 hours. Scenery & commentary were spectacular. Best damper we have ever tasted & Capt Jack even shared the recipe which was just another way he went above & beyond.

Lovely day out on the river - The trip was fun from the word go . The captain was funny , peppering info with jokes . The view was spectacular. In addition to the scenery, we had Percy the dancing pelican to entertain us , and we also got to see Ospreys swooping down to feed on fish, and their nests. The captain brought homemade damper, honey as well as live oysters for us to try.

WATCH THE VISA FOR AUSTRALIA - Both Mundomar Cruises Agency and the iVisa visa management company do not adequately report the current visa application procedure for going to AUSTRALIA. It is best to consult airlines flying to that country on how to apply for a tourist visa.
