Cheeky Juveniles
Tangalooma whale watch has had an incredible start to the week today with 6 Humpback whales, two adults, two juveniles and two calves. Leaving from Tangalooma we had the advantage of travelling in the protected area of the Island admiring the shipwrecks at Bulwer and the war relics at Cowan Cowan.
After passing Comboyuro point the north western side of the island, we were greeted by a couple of cheeky juveniles that had fun, diving from one side of the boat to the other and back again. It was then we saw an explosive eruption of white water a few hundred meters away, as we investigated the champagne patch of bubbles a Calf Breached right in front of us! There was a symphony of "oohhhs's and ahhh's!" as we watched the water fizz. Everyone on board was spoiled when the calf decided to repeat breach over 10 times in a row!
With the winter weather subsiding, we can expect to see even more of these beautiful humpbacks migrating south to Antarctica with their new born calves.
