School holidays and good weather at the same time – these conditions are certainly putting smiles on the faces of a lot of Queenslanders. Winter has certainly gone although threatens to briefly revisit tomorrow. We made the most of it today with another two...
Whale One enjoyed two trips today with the conditions not the best but still found the whales out and playful. Had great company with the visiting dolphins as well as some good close encounters with several friendly humpbacks.
Mother Nature is certainly being kind to us! The forecasted blow went through in the early hours of the morning and eased back on dawn to allow a fantastic morning trip with our humbbacked visitors. A full boat of eager passengers were seeing their first whale within...

Another fantastic day on the Sunshine Coast was enjoyed by all aboard Whale One for the two trips today. Great numbers of whales are relaxing close-in for the school holidays and with the perfect weather, things can’t get better than what we’re getting...
