Fabulous day out with captain Jack , such a funny,friendly,knowledgeable,professional young manEnjoyed the home made Damper,there is toilet on board, highly recommend this lovely small local family business
Great trip given plenty of history of the area and a nice morning tea of damper and also fresh oyster tasting. 4 hours well spent.
Extremely good river cruise, well worth taking. Entertaining, local historical information, nature experience, good tea/coffee, damper, fresh oyster taste and honey.... enjoyed the just over half a day outing, recommend it.
Very enjoyable, picturesque scenery. We enjoyed every minute. Captain Jack is knowledgeable with an entertaining manner. We enjoyed the Tea and Damper and the honey samples as well. If you are in Albany just make the time to do the cruise.
Sometimes it takes having visitors for you to take advantage of the tourist attractions around you. We’re so glad our current visitors were interested in taking the Kalgan Queen tour of Oyster Harbour and the Kalgan River because it turned out to be a great experience. Not only did we get to enjoy some beautiful scenery and see some of the local birdlife, we were continually informed and entertained by Captain Jack. We were also given the chance to try local produce, including the delicious local oysters, and Jack’s mum’s homemade damper. We’re looking forward to taking future visitors on t this really enjoyable tour.
Jack informed and entertained us for 4 fantastic hours! Im blown away at his wealth of knowledge, his kind, caring manner, great sense of humour and his wonderful relationship with his feathered friends! Thank you for a truly incredible Albany experience! 💯
A fantastic morning on th Kalgan River. Captain Jack entertained and informed us all morning. We gained a wealth of information about the history of Albany presented in an extremely interesting manner. As well as the learning there was the opportunity to experience local produce along the way and delicious damper for morning tea. This is definetly a trip worth taking while in Albany.
Wonderful boat trip! The captain, Jack, was very knowledgeable and he made the trip such fun. We learnt about the wildlife on the river, the bird life and the history of the region. Morning tea was delicious. Thanks to Jack’s mum for the beautiful damper and the honey and strawberries. We’re off to Handasydes strawberry farm and cafe to sample their delicious wares. I would definitely recommend this boat trip and will certainly be back to do it again in the future. Thanks Jack!
Excellent tour with knowledgable Captain. Love their work looking after the wildlife without “taming them”. Makes for good photo opportunities while learning a lot about the area and Australia isms. Lots of fun.
Fantastic way to spend the morning! Jack is an amazing host and a terrific storyteller! Damper is fabulous! Definitely a gem in Albany! Do yourself a favour and book your tour today!!!
Great tour enjoyed the commentary and a pleasant tour around Oyster Harbour and the Kalgan River. Tasted some local strawberries and honey and enjoyed the damper and tea.
Loved everything about this trip. The Skipper/tour guide was humorous, friendly, welcoming and entertaining. The tasty delights such as Mums home made damper and their honey were lovely. Fresh, local strawberries and local oysters too. Great morning.
If you ever go to Albany the Kalgan Queen River boat tour is a must. The most informative, humorous tour taking in some amazing scenery. The interaction and knowledge of the local wildlife that Captain Jack displayed was amazing, highly recommend to all
Very knowledgeable, well spoken and funny captain Jack. If you like history this is the tour for you. Suitable for all ages. Tea, coffee, home made Damper, honey was great. Would and will recommend this river cruise to anyone. Some people on cruise had done tour multiple times and this says a lot. Thank you for a great morning out. Will come again next visit.
We were given a trip on the Kalgan Queen as a Christmas presents. The whole family had a wonderful time. Captain Jack was a wealth of knowledge on all things Albany, the river system and loads about wildlife, he definitely would be a good team mate at trivia. Thank you for a wonderful morning on the water. The damper is sensational.
Jack very knowledgeable and entertaining. Great morning enjoyed by all of us. Tea and coffee very nice. My son loved the Dampier.
Such a wonderful day ! Captain Jacks knowledge and humour are great ! The Damper was delicious, as were the strawberries and honey. We went straight to Handasydes after and bought the strawberries 🍓 🤣 Highly recommend this local business. I loved my pelican cuddle 💕 Thankyou Jack !
Wife and I really enjoyed ourselves and will be telling everyone about it. Jacks humour was the best but also well informed with historic information about the local area, wildlife and the occasional poem was well enjoyed. Thank you for an awesome day. PS stole the damper recipe thanks!!
We highly recommend this tour. Captain Jacks humour and knowledge sharing sessions make the 4 hours tour very enjoyable. The damper was scrumptious.
What a wonderful time!! My husband and I have visited Albany many times. Wanting to experience something new/ different, we decided we’d give the Kalgan Queen a try. We were a bit hesitant, not really knowing what to expect. But we had the best day!! The Kalgan Queen is a family run business, offering a unique experience in a small group setting. Captain Jack is exceptional, offering lots of knowledge, wisdom, insights about the local area and funny tidbits. We took our 5wk old onboard (in a carrierand it was fine. It’s a really brilliant experience, and we especially enjoyed the homemade damper, the fresh oysters and the local honey tastings. They’re open through June this year and I’d recommend this to everyone; all ages and locals or visitors. Worth every penny!
Local knowledge was awesome and a great running commentary - Even got to steer the boat! Still enjoying the honey!
We had an amazing time aboard the Kalgan Queen. Jack was very informative on not only Albany history but general history also. Would highly recommend this for people of all ages. And poetry is next level
Such a great Sunday out on the kalgan queen,with my mother, sister and children.☀️☺️Entertaining, informative and very tranquil.Even a cup of tea on the river with homemade damper 😍 just perfection.😌🌿I highly recommend taking a ride on the Kalgan queen with Captain Jack on the pristine waters of the Kalgan was entertaining and a positive experience for everyone on board.
If laughter, local knowledge and wild life are what you are after then this is a trip you do not want to miss. Captain Jack will keep you well entertained along with the stars of his show, poetry and local produce.
Fantastic day out. So informative and many jokes and laughs along the way. Penguins. Stingrays and sea hawks make for a great addition to the fun on the river. Dont miss the home made damper it was fabulous.
Had a great time with Captain Jack today! Tour was a fun filled 4 hours with lots of local history thrown in, interaction with wildlife and a taste of some local goodies. Thanks to ‘mum’ for the damper, it was amazing. Fully recommend this tour to all ages.
This is such a great cruise, it has everything, terrific wildlife that do tricks even though they live in their own environment, incredible historical information with some humour thrown in. The damper was delicious plus strawberries, honey and oysters. Terrific value for money. Thank you Jack
An absolutely entertaining and informative skipper, Capt Jack is a fountain of knowledge. Loved the dancing pelicans. Very family orientated too. Thoroughly recommend
What a delightful day we had. Jack was full of knowledge about the local river inhabitants and I learnt so much about Albany that I never even knew, as Jack informed us about the history of this lovely town and surrounding areas long history. It was a fun packed morning watching the pelicans dance and the Kites diving down to the water to grab the herrings that were thrown into the river for them. We finally finished with Jacks Mums homemade and delicious damper. Well recommended. Top Notch
Absolutely loved this cruise!!Jack is extremely knowledgeable, highly entertaining, funny and you genuinely can see he loves what he does. A wonderful experience.The trivia was an added bonus as were the oysters, damper and tea.Thank you Jack. Peta and Paul 10/3/21
If you only do ONE thing in Albany, this is it! I’ve been on several tourist style sea/river cruises but nothing like this. Captain Jack brings a unique personal style of expertise, education and entertainment as he navigates the Kalgan Queen through the local waterways. His support cast of sea eagles, seals, ospreys and of course, pelicans, all make for an unforgettable morning. Excellent.
WOW, what a brillant morning on the Kalgan Queen! Captain Jack introduced us to his wildlife friends, fed us the most amazing damper, recited poetry and kept us informed and entertained with stories about the river.Thank you Capt Jack for a great morning.
We had a wonderful morning on this river boat cruise. Captain Jack was very entertaining and full of local knowledge. Loved his poems. This is a must do when in Albany. Highly recommended
Wasnt able to go to Rottnest due to lockdown in Perth so came on this as Great Southern was still open... and it was just as good! I had my toddler and baby with me and the smooth ride was easy to manage.
One of the best cruise Ive been on. Had the delight of watching Perch and Pav (Pelicansdance, Percy (Pelicancuddle a guest, see dolphins swim by, watch birds like Osprey catch fish, eat a homemade hot savoury damper and hear cool historical stories and poems by Captain Jack. Highly recommend this cruise!
What a wonderful day!!We were greeted by a smiling Captain Jack right from walking through the jetty’s gate, then we spent over 4 hours listening to an incredible array of stories, from historical little known facts and events, to personal stories with a touch of poetry. All the while gently motoring around the harbour and up the Kalgan river, meeting local fauna and learning many interesting facts about the locals and Albany’s rich history.Thank you Captain Jack, for the lovely, very interesting and highly entertaining day. Well done to the “old boy” (Jack’s dadfor starting the business 20 years ago and to Jack for continuing this tradition. A true gem local business, and a must do for everyone visiting Albany.Not to be missed!
Informative, fun and a good way to find out more about the history of Albany. Great stories and the food was amazing. I would go again and again and I dont think I would get bored! Had a great time and I will encourage others to come to Albany and take the Kalgan Queen boat tour. Good luck to you Captain Jack!
Would recommend this trip to everyone. Dancing Pelicans make your day with good stories from Captain Jack and all homemade food.
Had a fantastic time today on the water, such knowledge and wonderful stories from our skipper, and the pelicans are absolutely amazing! Highly recommended! Loved every minute. :)
This was an amazing, interesting Tour with captain Jack on Bord! I enjoyed every minute and also these fantastic dumpers. I really can recommend this cruise. You will get a lot of informations of the nature around, the pelicans, ospreys and the historic site of this landscape. Do it!
What a fabulous experience really learnt alot about the fabulous Albany. Capt Jack was wonderful and so knowledgeable. The damper and hot cuppa tea was great and all the animals where fabulous to see. Would definitely recommend doing this. It was something I would normally not have done and am glad I did.
We had an extremely pleasant morning cruising the Kalgan river and Oyster harbour with Cap’n Jack. The interaction with pelicans and osprey was sensational. Jack was very informative and amusing. Worth going just for the home cooked damper. We highly recommend this 4 hour cruise.
I would highly recommend this cruise. Jack was informative, the damper was yummy. I have a new respect for how clever pelicans are.
BRILLIANT!! A must do for everyone. Captain Jack was amazing he speaks so well and is full of knowledge. Get to see a variety of wildlife up close and person and opportunities to feed the wildlife. Captain Jacks mums damper was very tasty. All round an amazing experience and worth doing more than once!
