6 Day Abrolhos Islands New Year Tour

Birds - Birds - Birds

Enjoy the company of other nature enthusiasts as you celebrate New Years Eve on board the luxury vessel Odyssey II

The Houtman Abrolhos is an archipelago of 108 islands and rocks located about 80 km off the midwest coast of Western Australia and are renowned for their extensive array of marine life and history. They are also a breeding ground for many tropical seabirds.

The tour is scheduled to coincide with the breeding season, at which time tens of thousands of birds can be observed at close quarters and include common and lesser noddys, roseate, sooty and bridled terns, shearwaters, osprey, sea eagles, cormorants, storm petrels and the red tailed tropic bird which are some of the 95 species of seabirds that occur on the islands.

The Odyssey II is a custom built 24m expedition Vessel, launched in 2006. The advanced catamaran design ensures very quiet operation, spacious interior and great stability. This will be our base for three nights.

The wedge-tailed shearwater, lesser noddy, common noddy and sooty tern particularly nest in vast numbers. There will also be plenty of time to snorkel in the crystal clear waters. You may also hopefully encounter bottle-nosed dolphins and sea lions.

The first and fifth nights are spent in a Geraldton Motel. All meals are included except those whilst travelling between Perth and Geraldton.
