About Us
We combine providing an exciting eco-tour and the opportunity to swim with sea lions, with educating you about this endangered species and how to protect them.
Who we are
Sea Lion Charters was founded in 1998. Originally operating from Greenhead, we are now departing from Jurien Bay Marina giving us better access to Jurien Bay Marine Park.
Our goal is to educate more people to understand how endangered sea lions are and how we can help to protect them.
When you join Sea Lion Charters on a tour you can be assured of a unique experience, learning about the marine and bird life in the Jurien Bay Marine Park and of course swimming with the extremely rare sea lions.
