Historic Whaling Station

WELCOME TO A UNIQUE AUSTRALIAN STORY

Plan Your Visit

Albany’s Historic Whaling Station is the only experience of its kind in the world.

Explore an intact whale processing factory and whale chasing ship – fully restored and ready for you to discover.

The Cheynes Beach Whaling Company was the last whaling company to cease operations in Australia, closing in 1978. Opening in 1980 (known then as Whale World), it is now home to an interactive museum on whales and whaling.

Allow at least 3 hours to enjoy all there is to see and do.

Albany’s Historic Whaling Station is open 9am to 5pm – Every Day Daily (Closed 25th December Only)
