50 dolphins ambush whale watching cruise!

Thu, 25 Aug 2016

By Eco Ranger Corey

50 dolphins try to upstage the aerobatic whales!

The dolphins took the spotlight today with a pod of 50 Inshore Bottlenose dolphins spotted off Cape Moreton! Crew and guests onboard were amazed by the large pod heading north close to the shore and was a great way to finish the whale watch cruise with 12 whales spotted for the day.

The whales today were very curious, with two juveniles coming close to the boat and a large adult showing off its aerobic skills by lifting and holding its tail out of the water.
