Calves playing in the rain

There was some rain in Moreton Bay today but didn't stop the Humpback whale calves from being playful with two spotted and a total of 5 whales for the day.

So we are into the final month of whale watching cruises off the coast of Brisbane, expecting all the mothers and calves to be on their journey south.

Today we spent some time with a pod of a mother,calf and juvenile; with the calf taking some time to get comfortable with our dedicated whale watching vessel, the Tangalooma Jet. Once the calf was comfortable, it showed off with some spectacular head lunges!
