So close to the boat!

Today on board the Tangalooma Jet, a humpback whale got up close and personal to the vessel and guests, and did some huge tail slaps right next to the bow! The whale swam up next to the starboard side then raised its fluke (tail) and slammed it down. Whales are very curious and inquisitive animals, so they regularly come close to the vessel. For the day, 10 whales were sighted and two bottlenose dolphins were spotted near Cape Moreton.
