Breach of the day! 🚀🧨🐋

An explosive start to our late afternoon cruise! We pushed out East and found a competition pod pounding their way North. As we approached we had a moment of quiet before one whale went sky high with a one off breach! Mind blowing action!

A whopping good time on the humpback highway today.

Still seeing the humpbacks on their Northern migration.

On our afternoon cruise we had 2 whales breach one after the other out of nowhere, we only just managed to get a few snaps 😂🚀

Wave your fins in the air like you just don’t care!

It’s been a busy few days for us out on the Tasman Sea, we’ve had lots of fast moving solo whales pushing North, and some of the conditions have made it especially challenging. We were treated today though with some very close passes to the boat, and more than a few inquisitive whales popping up with loud trumpeting and big blows! We even had a couple of big tail throws and one whale waving at us as we left! Perfect.

Let’s hope for a spectacular Sunday tomorrow, and hopefully lots of active whales this week!
Will you be joining us?

More breaching action happening on our 12pm cruise today! 🚀🐋

We found a lone humpback just outside the heads breaching, head lunging, pectoral slapping over and over. We noticed it was doing all of this showing off in circles, almost swimming in circles around us breaching and crashing in the waves.

Still some heavy winds out there riling them up. If you're not coming on a cruise today, at the very least I recommend get to the shore and watch from there! 👀

Absolutely amazing morning on our 9:30 cruise! 🚀🚀

Straight out of the heads we found a pod of 2 humpbacks breaching into the wind. I could hardly hold the camera straight with the wind blowing a gale 😂
It was worth the rough winds as the whales seem to love it! 🐋🚀

We lost count of how many breaches we saw on that cruise.

Big Breach Today! So close to the boat we couldn’t fit it all in the frame!

Our late afternoon cruise got the show again today, when we found a competition pod of three whales charging North! Two of the whales were engaged in some very boisterous behaviours, ramming and tail swiping at each other. As we watched two of them colliding, with all eyes on them, the third whale came out of nowhere, launching itself out of the water just meters away! 

What a show!
