Beautiful close whales today!

We had a great afternoon trip today with two large adult whales cruising right beside the boat, we think they invited us the join the pod as the rolled below the surface and stayed with us for over an hour, just meters below the surface. No wild behaviour, but a calm cruise and a stunning experience for everyone! 😍

Good Morning folks!!

We thought we’d share these photos taken by the big boss Tim on his day off! He said he went fishing on his day off, but there were so many whales around he had to stop and try to snap some photos. It’s either that or maybe he’s better with a camera than a fishing rod? πŸ˜‰

Let us know what you think of his images, we think he did a damn fine job!

Who doesn’t love a fluke wave as the sun sets?

Perfect conditions and stunning orange light on our last cruise of the day. We found a pod of three giving us some beautiful tail displays, and then the breaches began in the distance as we turned to head home.

An amazing morning on the Humpback Highway!

We had a large pod coming very close to the boat and giving us an amazing display, followed by a lively single whale putting on an acrobatic show! Incredible!

Our 3pm cruise was more than we could ask for.

We were tracking along a pod of 4 humpback whales and out of no where we had a light "mugging" from the whales so we sat out of gear with the boot and just enjoyed. πŸ‘
We also got to see glowing whales thanks to the lighting from the beautiful sunset!β˜€πŸ‹

We are sitting in an elevated position at Avalon overlooking the ocean this weekend and have seen hundreds and hundreds of whales migrating north. Just a fabulous show of breaches spouts and tail slipping οΏΌοΏΌ - when they say the migration north is thousands of whales they are not wrong οΏΌ

Amazing photo Ben πŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‹πŸ³
