Double Humpback Whale Head Lunges!
Today's whale watch cruise was a thrilling one! We started in the waters north of Moreton Island, where we found two juvenile Humpbacks. We followed these two juveniles as they headed east towards Cape Moreton. Their main behaviour of the day was surfacing, until they were in close proximity with another pod of two juveniles, totaling at 4 Humpbacks for the day. The first two juveniles fired up with their amazing head lunges and breaches! They were sending a message out to the second pod of the day, by creating big splashes on the waters surface. Just as we were watching this action, we sighted an incoming pod of Common dolphins. The dolphins soon arrived and delighted guests as they surfed the bow waves produced from the Tangalooma Jet! This was a very large pod of approx. 30 Common dolphins, and they stayed with us for 40 minutes. It was incredible to witness both Humpback whales and Common dolphins in the waters surrounding the Tangalooma Jet!
