Enjoy the company of other nature enthusiasts as you celebrate New Years Eve on board the luxury vessel the MV Oceania.

The Houtman Abrolhos is an archipelago of 108 islands and rocks located about 80 km off the mid-west coast of Western Australia. The islands are renowned for their fascinating history and abundance of wildlife. They are also a breeding ground for a variety of sea birds, making the area a bird watcher's delight.

Our tour is scheduled to coincide with the bird breeding season, when tens of thousands of birds can be observed at close quarters. Birds to be seen include the Common and Lesser Noddy; Roseate, Sooty and Bridled Tern; Wedge-tailed Shearwater; Osprey and the Red-tailed Tropicbird. These are only a few of the 95 species of birds that spend time on the islands.

During the tour there will also be plenty of time to snorkel in the crystal-clear waters, where you may encounter bottle-nosed dolphins and sea lions.

The MV Oceania is a custom built, 27m expedition vessel. The advanced catamaran design ensures very quiet operation, great stability and a spacious interior. This will be your base for four nights of the tour.

The last night is spent in a motel in Geraldton. All meals are as shown on the itinerary are included.

Please note that the sea crossing to the islands can be rough, and takes around 2 - 3 hours.
