Let's clap for those impressive tail slaps!
Tail slaps galore on today’s whale watch! We were lucky enough to get up close and personal with a juvenile female Humpback whale that put on an entertaining show for us, with up to around 20 tail slaps. A tail slap occurs when the whale extends its tail fluke above the water and slaps it, often forcibly, onto the surface of the water; it is quite common for this behaviour to happen multiple times in a row. We were also greeted with an incredible breach by another adult Humpback whale! A total of 10 Humpback whales and a pod of 6 Bottlenose dolphins were sighted today.
