Does this include gift vouchers or only bookings?

Our season may be coming to an end next weekend, but that doesnt mean we are not having some great cruises still!

Here are some great breaches captured today by one of our regulars Mark plus a bonus breach from a couple of days ago we didnt get to share with you yet!

One more week to go, with our last cruises of the 2023 season heading out on the 12th of November.Image attachmentImage attachment

We were back out whale watching again after sea conditions had calmed down enough with both Thursday and Friday wiped out by strong winds and large waves!

We spent some time watching this mother and calf frolic off the northern beaches with both of them tail and pectoral fin slap their way back towards Antarctica.

2 more weeks before the season ends, so get your whale fix if you have not had one yet...!

An impressive display of head lunges kept us in awe on our whale watching cruises today!

The wind and waves crept up during the day, which quite often results in some super active whales!

Unfortunately it will get much worse over the next 2 days, forcing us to cancel some of our cruises.

Everything should be back to almost comfortable by the weekend, so we should be back out there then.

A little over 2 weeks to go before the season ends!

No shortage of whales just yet, with almost 3 weeks left in our 2023 whale watching season.

Here are some great photos captured over the last 3 days onboard our cruises!

A solid day of whale watching with quite a few breaches seen from this little calf on our afternoon cruise!

The wind picked up and somehow that seems to get them jumping.
Similar conditions tomorrow, so fingers crossed for a lot of action!

A reminder that our weekday 3hr Discovery Cruises are currently 20% off until the end of the season, which is now less than 4 weeks away.

Get your whale watching fix while you still can! 😎
