Amazing Whale displays!
The past few weeks we have been having really fantastic whale watch cruises! The weather has been great with many beautiful calm days and the whales are coming through in large numbers now on their way back South towards Antarctica. We’re seeing lots and lots of little calves coming through now as well, usually several calves every day, travelling alongside their mums. These little ones are now about a month or two old and full of energy. There have been some amazing displays with babies practicing their breaches, jumping high up out of the water! Some days we’ve even been seeing both the mother and calf breaching together!
There’s been plenty of other marine life around as well, including dugongs, sea turtles (we even saw a pair of turtles mating at the surface!), dolphins and sea birds.
Now really is the best time to come whale watching, before the whales leave us again at the end of the month…
