A calm, sunny Sunshine Coast morning offshore from Mooloolaba – We found two whales in the distance that ended up coming roughly 10 metres from the boat.
We saw three whales in our first encounter, then in the second encounter we had a mum, calf and escort, and lastly on our third encounter we saw two (what seemed to be) adult whales.
We observed these whales breaching, perhaps the humpback whale calf feeding, peduncle throws, tail slaps, and overall LOTS of surface action.
