ABOUT JURIEN BAY OCEANIC EXPERIENCE
More than a tour
Jurien Bay Oceanic Experience is a family-owned marine tourism business built on passion, conservation, and a lifelong connection to the ocean.
Founded by the Holland family, our story began right here in Jurien Bay, where generations have lived, worked, and spent their lives on the water. Long before tourism became what it is today, these waters were our backyard, our workplace, and our greatest inspiration.
01
Where It All Began
Our connection to the Jurien Bay Marine Park goes back decades.
In 1996, the Holland’s became the first licensed tour operator within the Jurien Bay Marine Park, pioneering sea lion interaction tours long before marine wildlife tourism became what it is today.
What began as a passion for sharing the marine life of Jurien Bay has evolved into one of Western Australia’s leading marine wildlife experiences.
02
Built By The Ocean
Growing up on the coast, the ocean has always shaped who we are.
From commercial fishing and diving to marine tourism and conservation, our lives have always revolved around the water. Every experience is guided by local knowledge, hands-on experience, and a genuine respect for the Jurien Bay Marine Park.
We believe the most meaningful experiences come from small groups, personal connections, and creating moments that allow guests to truly appreciate this extraordinary marine environment.
Conservation at Heart
Protecting the marine environment is at the core of everything we do.
Through respectful wildlife interactions, conservation initiatives, and support of marine research, we are committed to helping protect the wildlife and ecosystems that make this region so special.

Why We Do This
For us, this has always been about more than tourism.
It’s about sharing experiences that stay with people forever. Watching guests encounter wild Australian sea lions for the first time and inspiring deeper connections with the ocean is what continues to drive us every day.
We are proud to share the beauty of Jurien Bay through small group marine experiences that are personal, authentic, and unforgettable.
