What a fantastic way to spend a Sunday! We had dazzling calm conditions on the Sunshine Caost which held up all day and allowed two great cruises. On the morning trip we found a beautiful mother nursing her newborn calf. We witnessed a magical feeding session followed by an exciting close encounter led by the curious little calf.
After sighting several more pods that were fairly quiet and elusive, we found just what we were after! A solo male put on an incredible show of explosive breaches, tail slaps and pectoral slaps which had the crowd screaming for more.
The afternoon trip began with the quick discovery of an energetic calf learning the ropes for future mating seasons with a great display of playful breaches and head lunges. An attempt was made to count them but after thirty or so we just sat back and enjoyed! Another great session on the waters of the Sunshine Coast.
