Today was our first day of whale watching for the season and we had it all!
We saw our first humpback whale just 2.5 nautical miles east of Point Cartwright followed by a pod of 2 whales .
Not far off in the distance were a few whales heading slowly north. We didn’t need to seek them out though as the pod we were with put on an incredible display with 20+ breaches, tail and pectoral slapping and even a few close encounters with them “mugging” the boat!
Our lunch time Dolphin Discovery Cruise guests got an added bonus and were exhilarated with 2 Humpback Whales coming in close and giving us over a dozen breaches. Even a few double breaches!
We also saw 4 common dolphins and fed approximately 30 pelicans!
Our Dolphin Discovery Cruises are running every Friday, Saturday and Sunday until the 30th of June.
A wild day had by all!
What a great start to the season!
Check out our video footage below captured by the crew today.
