More breaching action happening on our 12pm cruise today! ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ‹

We found a lone humpback just outside the heads breaching, head lunging, pectoral slapping over and over. We noticed it was doing all of this showing off in circles, almost swimming in circles around us breaching and crashing in the waves.

Still some heavy winds out there riling them up. If you're not coming on a cruise today, at the very least I recommend get to the shore and watch from there! ๐Ÿ‘€

Absolutely amazing morning on our 9:30 cruise! ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿš€

Straight out of the heads we found a pod of 2 humpbacks breaching into the wind. I could hardly hold the camera straight with the wind blowing a gale ๐Ÿ˜‚
It was worth the rough winds as the whales seem to love it! ๐Ÿ‹๐Ÿš€

We lost count of how many breaches we saw on that cruise.

It was fabulous- way more action than i had expected. Thankyou ๐Ÿ˜›

Hope it happens Sunday morning. See you then

Big Breach Today! So close to the boat we couldnโ€™t fit it all in the frame!

Our late afternoon cruise got the show again today, when we found a competition pod of three whales charging North! Two of the whales were engaged in some very boisterous behaviours, ramming and tail swiping at each other. As we watched two of them colliding, with all eyes on them, the third whale came out of nowhere, launching itself out of the water just meters away! 

What a show!

I lost my money in a bogus charity scam, and I didn't know what to do. That's when I found #Raffled_Recovery.Their team of experts helped me recover my stolen funds and provided me with the necessary legal support to ensure that justice was served. I highly recommend their services to anyone who has fallen prey to bogus charity scams

Our 12:00 cruise got very lucky today with an exciting breach show from this young whale! Launching out the water for an acrobatic display on both sides of the boat it was hard to keep track!!

Amazing displays on the Humpback Highway and conditions are looking good for the next few days! We hope to see you soon!

Unbelievable! What a show that was!!

Three beautiful cruises today, but that last one of the day really got the heart racing! After finding a mother and very fresh young calf close to North Head, we decided to head East to give the new mum and little one some space, and thatโ€™s when it all kicked off!

We found a single sub adult whale putting on the show of the week, with breach after breach just meters from boat, some true acrobatics that left us in awe!

True to form - the whales performed and breached when I was not on board - they follow Murphy's law when I am not there

Ted Lamb The lighting and colours are beautiful. Good job.

Are they still going North or have they started coming south?

It's good to be back now all this crazy weather is finished, for the moment.

Conditions are looking good over the next week, and we enjoyed an easy going cruise today seeing plenty of whales still on their Northern migration. On two separate cruises we witnessed a pod of 2 and the other a pod of 3 cruise by us going nice and slow as we had our engines idle and watched as their tails go up vertical then go straight down, almost like a wave goodbye ๐Ÿ‘‹

Catch you out there! ๐Ÿ‹
