Albany Historic Whaling Station tour - Joy from Blue Tours picked five of us up from the Port where the "Queen Elizabeth" was docked. We set off in a small bus for the Historic Whaling Station - an 18Km drive. Along the way she gave us lots of information about the area we were driving through. The history of the Whaling Station and tour of the area was grose but very interesting. We also saw the amazing scrimshaw done by Rory Tonkin on a four metre sperm whale jaw bone - very impressive. Then a nice morning tea before being driven back to the main part of the city. A very worthwhile tour!

A fantastic day in Albany at Whale Story - We had a fantastic day at Albany Whale Story today thanks to Albany Tours. Communication was easy and smooth. We were warmly welcomed by Susan who took us to Joy who took us to the Whale station and gave us the tour there herself. This gave us a good look at how whaling went. A piece of Albany history that cannot be lost. The museum is big so we could have walked around for another 2 hours. Thank you Albany Tours for this beautiful day. Greetings Tim & Kirsten
