Mothers and calves play alongside Tangalooma Jet

As we make our way into the last two months of whale watching cruises at Tangalooma, its all the mother Humpback whales with their newborn calves heading back south past Brisbane on their way home to Antarctica.

With 4 Humpback whales spotted for the day with the majority of the time spent with the mother and calf which were accompanied by another adult. After some time the calf got comfortable with the vessel and started to throw its tail out of the water looking to play with the other whales and showing off his new skills off Queensland's Moreton Island.
