Mother of a Whale

On board the Tangalooma Jet we spotted a total of 8 Humpback Whales, and its only the second day of the season! Two pods of two males were spotted, with two very large adults and two smaller juveniles. Then we spotted another two pods, each pod was a mother and calf making their way further north. Crew and guests were treated to some curious and playful behaviour displayed by a mother and calf as they zig zagged from either side of the vessel giving all guests on board a great view of them. Calves are always very curious and come close to the boat to have a look at us while we are looking down at them!
