Our onboard photographer called in sick yesterday, so typically the whales decided to breach non stop! 😂

Luckily we had one of our regular passengers Adam with us, who sent us these amazing photos 👌

We have great sea conditions all week with whale numbers building, so hoping for more of the same in the days ahead! 🐳

Cruisey day on the Tasman sea today.
We had stunning weather and calm soft seas ☀

Whales were having a sleepy and slow trip up North. We're seeing more and more each day 🐋

We got lucky this morning before the big weather and swell started to roll in! A long search ended with a very lively whale breaching into the wind and waves near South Head. Some dolphins also came to play and gave us some serious air time!

The competition pods are here!

We had a busy time on the Humpback Highway from our Adventure cruise today, with several pods of males spotted early in the day lunging and sizing each other up to impress the ladies! It’s was calm condition on the water today, but it looks like tomorrow might get rough!

Sunday and Monday are looking promising so let hope for some action out there!

Beautiful conditions again today on the Humpback Highway!

The numbers are definitely starting to pick up with pods in all directions! We had some stunning close passes and huge tails throws with even some surprise breaches!
