Baby whales are breaching during their migrations!
Today's whale watch cruise was full of mother-calf pairs, with 3 in total today (bring todays total to 6 Humpbacks)! The first two mother-calf pairs were on a mission north, as they repeated long deep dives. Once we were fulfilled with watching the first two mother-calf pairs, we noticed mini splashes out on the horizon, it appeared to be a calf breaching! We approached closer and were soon delighted to see such a young Humpback (only weeks old) leap repeatedly out of the water. It was such an adorable sight to see this young mammal learn how to tail slap and breach!
At this time we are approaching the last days of July, and we've so far seen more than 250 Humpbacks! Their numbers are skyrocketing and we cannot wait for more sightings in the coming months of whale watching at Tangalooma.
