From our 1pm Discovery cruise today. It was a bit different than our morning trip!
We saw some spectacular action from a mother and calf breaching a few kilometres off of Sydney South Head.
A theory is that when a mother and calf are breaching together, that is the mum teaching the younger calf to breach. Just like how we're taught to walk at a young age, it seems like instead of walking like us, these gherkins are learning how to "fly" out of the water at a young age. 🐋🚀

Our 9:45 Discovery cruise was lots of tails getting thrown about.
We followed along with a pod of 3 humpbacks. The calf in this pod was the one who stole the show, we were viewing from a distance and then the calf decided to come over to splash about and for a closer look at us, we sat there with the engines in neutral then we watched them swim off, back to the Antarctic where they'll spend their summer! ...

The show is never over until you’re back at the wharf!
Cruising home from an exciting trip this afternoon we found a young whale breaching just inside the harbour, tail throwing and lunging around. Luckily mum soon swept in to take this excited young calf out into the open ocean!
We had breaches and tail throws from a mum calf and escort just beforehand as well, it’s an exciting time still on the Humpback Highway! We don’t have too much longer left this year before we have to wait another 6 months to see our blubbery friends again, so book your tickets for this season sooner rather than later to increase your chances of of seeing something truly
special!

A quiet day on the Tasman sea today, right up until the end when a young calf decided to put on a show! We cruised up to Long Reef and found this one practicing its best breaches! It could quite exit the water entirely but we appreciate the effort!!

Breach by the beaches! Amazing trips this afternoon, with whales everywhere! The wind and swell was making for some bouncy conditions and the whales loved it! Launching themselves into the air again and again! It’s never a dull day on the Humpback Highway!

I was at Maroubra and saw lots of action out at sea. We even saw a pod of dolphins right in near the rocks.
What a wild afternoon!!!
Our midday trip enjoyed some beautiful conditions and one whale gave us an incredibly close breach just a few meters from the back of the boat! We were stunned!!
After lunch the weather began to turn and the wind was howling, but all we can say is wow! The whales were going ballistic! Massive breaching from mum and calf in some rough conditions made for an adrenaline filled afternoon!!
