We were only 3.5 nautical miles east of Point Cartwright when we caught sight of a breach that gave away our first pod of two juvenile humpback whales. We had some lovely close encounters as we traveled south with them. On our way back to Mooloolaba, we come upon...
Whales proved a little illusive in the choppy conditions, until a breach was sighted 2 nautical miles, dead ahead. It was not long before we were up close and personal with our first pod. Their down times (time spend under the water) were extensive, however when the...
The second day for our earlier start of 0900 saw the wind up more than forecast – a steady 20 knot southerly had it a bit cooler and bumpier than expected. Not to worry, the whales certainly didn’t! The three male whales we found after half an hour were...
Perfect ocean conditions made for a great day of whale watching again. It was only 30 minutes after throwing the ropes that we came upon two humpbacks traveling north together, however they must have had a bad argument because they traveled about 700 metres apart from...
Another lovely day on the open ocean, the whales proving to be a little elusive to find initially, however we are sure all would agree that the wait was worth it when we found a mother, calf and escort whale traveling together, with some nice breaches to start with,...
Another picture perfect day on the open ocean! We left the bay and decided to head north east in search of our whales. Within 45 minutes we came across several whales travelling south together in four different pods. We had several close encounters and got mugged...
An absolutely picture-perfect day on the water today with cloudless skies and not even a breeze all day!! Everyone appreciated what the coast is renowned for – Sunshine and the whales were back to play today. Initially, we were entertained by a show-off young...
We were entertained by two sub-adults today, only 3.5 nautical miles east off Mooloolaba. They were very inquisitive, spending most of the day within 20 metres of the boat. When whales interact with boats it’s called a mugging, and we got mugged a number of...
After five days of rough ocean conditions, we finally threw the ropes and headed out to sea. It was not long before we came across our first pod of two whales 4 nautical miles east off Mooloolaba. These whales proved to be quite elusive at times with long down times....
Mother nature has determined that there will be no whale watching again today – with extremely strong winds, associated rough seas and rain, we have cancelled today and tomorrow’s whale trips. It is hoped to be easing tomorrow to allow a trip out on...
