Make a Splash: Whale Waves and Eco Day

Get ready for an unforgettable day of purposeful adventure, where you'll not only have a blast but also contribute to a greater cause. 

This excursion will kick off with a stroll along the beach, doing our part to keep our coastline beautiful with a fun and rewarding clean-up. Afterwards, we will set sail from  Sardine Jetty in Fremantle to go on a boat tour with Whale Watch Western Australia to cruise the open waters and soak up the wonderful ocean views in search of majestic whales, witnessing these incredible creatures up close in their natural habitat. As we travel, we will share lunch together before heading back to the Castle youth centre. 

The Make a Splash: Whale Waves and Eco Day excursion is your change to be part of something bigger - an adventure you'll feel proud of and look back on fondly for years to come.
