A cruise filled day out on the ocean today! It was so nice to get back out there after a few days of being stopped by the weather!
The whales were in cruise mode as well, calmly swimming along on their way. We’ve noticed the directional change in the past few days with more whales heading south and we get into the second half of the migration. We also saw a huge pod of dolphins off Manly, one large pod seeming play with one of the young calves that our Express trip had the joy of hanging out with in the early afternoon!

A bit of everything out on the Humpback Highway today!! Our midday cruise received a couple of close passes from a pod of 6 whales tracking North, then the late afternoon found an adult whale with two much smaller individuals, one looked like an inquisitive little calf and potentially another juvenile just hanging around in the shallows at Long Reef!
Another beautiful day on the Humpback Highway!

Unbelievable midday cruise today!!
The one tip with whale watching is to never stop keeping an eye out, because you never know what might happen, and this whale sure proved it today!! Right towards the end of the trip, a solo whale popped up right next to us after over an hour of searching and put on the show of a lifetime for our guests! Head lunging and breaching right next to the boat! Incredible!! 🐋🚀 ... See MoreSee Less

Talk about little and large!!! Wow!
We got incredibly lucky on our last trip of the day today, coming just outside the harbour entrance and finding the youngest calf we’ve seen all season so far! This little one was very new to the world and keen to show us some tiny tail slaps and fin waves, even coming for a close look at our boat before mum and an escort decided to swoop them away to keep them safe! We had some huge tail slaps from the adults and a good indication that they wanted us to keep a safe distance from the baby.
We always respect our whales and make sure they have plenty of space on their travels, with 100m being the legal limit, however when we have a calf we need to maintain a 300m distance to keep them safe! Although the whales sometimes decide they want to take a look at us! In which case we put the engines in idle and let the whales decide!

The ocean is looking a lot more washy than yesterday 🌊
For those who braved it out there with us today got a bit of the tail throw show from the pod 2 humpbacks we were trailing with on our 9:30 cruise.

Yet another stunner of a day out on the Tasman Sea today! The sea was the calmest we’ve seen all season! The whales were keeping their heads down and in cruise mode today, but we still got lucky with some amazing tail throws and plenty of peaceful and calm sightings!
We’ll be back out each day this weekend and hopefully the conditions will be just as good! Well hope to see you there!!
