Kalbarri Rock lobster Pot Pull Tour in Kalbarri

Kalbarri’s ocean is full of some of the world’s most premium wild-caught seafood. Let us take you out to experience catching our world famous Western Rocklobster!

We had an absolute ripper morning on the Catch & Keep Tour with Ayden and Sam from Reefwalker Ocean Discovery. Both were friendly, knowledgeable and happy to share their insights into the WA rock lobster industry while keeping the trip relaxed and fun. Watching the pots being hauled and learning how the crays are graded was fascinating, and the stunning Kalbarri coastline was a bonus. The highlight was heading home with two fresh crayfish each for dinner! Great value, a genuine local experience, and something we'd highly recommend to anyone visiting Kalbarri. Thanks Ayden and Sam for a fantastic morning on the water!
This was a fabulous 2 hours. Informative on the lobster industry in Kalbarri. Great boat. We all went home with lobsters fot lunch.
Return visit to Kalbarris catch and keep crayfish tour. Easily the best value for money of any available crayfish tours. Everyone received a mix of fresh and frozen crayfish due to the weather and moon not being in sync for crays to move. Congrats to all involved.
An early start to see sunrise as we hit the water. Large stable boat, plenty of room. A chance to watch what happens in the lobster harvesting industry on a smaller, more personal scale. Ayden was great, full of knowledge of the industry, happy to answer questions while we watched him and his deckhand haul in the lobster pots, size the crays, and reset the crates before we returned home. We also saw a bronze whaler shark, a pod of dolphins, and a humpback whale. There were also great views of the coastline. The best part was we got to share the catch and take some home for a taste test. Absolutely fantastic, highly recommended.
The best tour I every had. I Will come again and already recommended to my friend. The staff/owenr of the boat is very friendly.
Great experience have never been before. Guides were friendly and very knowledgeable. Best $ ever spent on a tour. Ended up taking 3 crayfish home to bbq up.
The Rock Lobster Pot Pull Tour was a really nice experience. It was a bit shorter than we expected, but still very enjoyable. The crew was friendly and explained the process clearly, which made it interesting to see how the pots are pulled and how the lobsters are handled. A simple, authentic experience if you’re in Kalbarri and want to try something different.
Superb trip and well worth the 6 am start. The boat was superb and the crew fantastic. Super skilled skipper explained all about the lobster industry. We got to take home three good sized lobsters. One of the best trips we’ve ever done - a must do.
We had the best day on Jan 25/2026. Aydan was an excellent skipper, was very informative and made everyone feel safe. He had great Aussie humour. What a great way to start the day in Kalbarri by getting out on the water straight away. We saw dolphins, a shark and had crayfish for dinner. Aydan gave us the perfect instructions on how to cook the crayfish and we ate like we were at a 5 star restaurant. It was great to support a local company and have such a good experience. Would highly recommend this tour as a tourist to Australia or as Aussie locals, we enjoyed thoroughly! 12/10 thank you!
Awesome experience, the lads running the show did a great job to keep us guests engaged. My wife, kids and I are very greatful for the experience, we were also very lucky with our catch. Thanks guys! Would happily do it again
