Perth Pelagic Boat Trips

I organise pelagic boat trips from the Hillarys Boat Harbour to look for seabirds between late June and early September. The next trip is on Sunday 12th September.  There is a maximum of 27 people on each trip.  The cost depends on how many people actually go, and is subject to change if costs increase.  The expected cost is $100. Email Alan Collins at alaninoz@iinet.net.au to reserve a place.

Alan Collins also organises pelagic trips from Albany.  The next trips are tentatively planned for a weekend in May 2011.  There is a maximum of 18 people on each trip.  The cost depends on how many people actually go, and is subject to change if costs increase. The cost is expected to be $150. Email Alan Collins at alaninoz@iinet.net.au to reserve a place.
