Well our midday Express cruise got lucky today! It was cetacean party on the humpback Highway!! We found a pod of 7 large whales heading North, very strange for this time of the season! They were then joined by a huge pod of bottlenose dolphins that’s buzzed past the boat again and again! It was incredible!!

Was it a competition pod. Ie, 6 males giving chase to a female? Comp pods go all over the place at speed.
The whales have been flying today!
Each of our express trips had whales breaching as best they could, the last trip had some action from a pod of three, the calf got completely out the water while mum and escort decided to get involved with some huge breaches and head lunges!!

What a beautiful sight. Are they still going north, or on their way back up with their new calves (I guess? ).
Sensational 👏

Beautiful big breach! This afternoon’s cruise found a pod of three just outside the heads, after a quick breach from the calf everything went quiet until until one of the adults gave us a huge breach right beside Sydney’s stunning sandstone cliffs. We’ve been very lucky today!

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No! It’s one of the best airborne attempts we’ve seen in a while though!! Lively young whale that woke up and decided it was party time this morning just off Curl Curl beach. Amazing!!

It's not just Humpbacks we see launching out of the water out on the Humpback highway!
On our 9:30am Express cruise, we saw whales, but also were able to witness one of nature's strange but impressive creatures of the sea - the "Flying Fish"
This time of the year we see a lot of flying fish in and out of the water, more so commonly spotted up at Long Reef.
They glide across the water with "wing" like fins and when they place the tip of their tailfin (lower part of the fin) into the water they use that to help steer them while they are mid-glide, almost like a rudder a boat would use to steer! How cool!
I never tire of seeing them graciously gliding across the surface!

Ive never seen one but I know of them from the Octonauts 😆
Beautiful Sailfish?
Our whales were in a very steady cruise today, with all trips finding whales that decided to keep their heads down, all except this one very excited young calf leaping around in the afternoon! We had a lot of forecasts for storms today and with think the whales must’ve know as the behaviour was very subdued. We can only guess that they may be saving some energy for a rough sea overnight. Let’s hope they come out to play over the weekend, we can’t wait!!
