Sometimes the weather keeps us at home by the fire, instead of out there with the whales we all love so much. So today is a day to post a few photos, which some wonderful guests have allowed us to share with you! Thank you Debbie and Dave!

Despite the challenging weather over the past few days we have had some awesome trips out into the wilderness with whales galore, some breaching, some peduncle throwing, lunging and plain plowing through the water, with some whales allowing us some pretty close looks at them, apparently totally unfazed by our company.
If you got any photos from your tours with us, we'd love to see them! Share them, tag us, or email them through so that we can share your excitement with our other guests and fans!

Yesterday was another day with a few special encounters - best of all a younger whale deciding to show off as we sailed past, lunging and breaching repeatedly, getting a little closer each time to our vessel, which I continually steered away from this boisterous youngster! As I was too busy with the boat, some kind passengers shared their footage with us, to share with you! Thanks Abi and Jacob!

What a special day
It seems some Humpbacks are keen to mimic Southern Rights and do some people watching 😁

I have said it before, to watch whales breaching is awesome - the sheer power displayed is mind blowing, no doubt. The only thing that tops a breach for me is a whale intentionally coming up to meet you, interact with you and check you out. That gives me goose bumps and that insane grin of bliss every time!
Today we had one of those encounters. After spotting a couple of humpbacks not far out into the Sound, we kept our distance and veered off, as they were heading towards the oyster farm near Mistaken Island.
We sailed through the channel and towards Whale World, when another couple of blows alerted us to another couple of whales between Mistaken Island and Flat Rock (near the Whaling Station). We made our way across and found them to be quite friendly. In fact so friendly, that we had to turn the motors off and were drifting with the wind when the humpbacks decided to come over, check us out and have a good look at us! Words just can't describe what your heart and soul is doing during these encounters - WOW barely touches it!
We just love what we are doing and if you want to join us, don't hesitate to give us a call, or message us on Facebook (or just book your spot through our website)!
PS: If you got any photos from today's trip (or any other of our tours), we would love for you to share them with us!

A quick report from the past couple of days:
We had some wonderful encounters with numerous humpbacks on both Monday's and today's tour.
Yesterday we had a few whales in the sound, which made for some early, but slightly "standoffish" encounters, before heading further out, where we found some very sociable whales, that seemed to enjoy our company so much, they joined us for quite a while, before heading out and off on their migration west (and ultimately north)! We witnessed a close breach, lunge and some tail slapping before heading home full of admiration for these giants!
Today was a little different - no whales in the sound, but frequent breaching out on the line. When we got there, we caught up with some mother calf pairs, at least two this years calves and some other juveniles. These were wonderful to watch, as they surfaced frequently and seemed unphased by our company. We sailed along with them for a little while before turning back to catch up with more whales, which we knew were following us. We witnessed one whale repeatedly tail slapping, before another whale breached off in the distance. On turning towards the breaching whale, all of a sudden there seemed to be breaches all around from whales we hadn't even known were there. All too far to call "close encounters", but close enough to clearly see the whale causing the splash 🐋
We headed home, distracted by more whales popping up around us and reckon all up, there would have been 30 odd humpback sightings out there today!
If you were on one of our tours recently (or not so recently) we would love to see some of your photos, as we rarely get the chance to take photos ourselves - and if you want to be part of one of these amazing adventures, give us a call or message us, or just book a tour online via our website!
Looking forward to see you out there!

What a day! Lovely weather conditions, Dolphins, Sea Eagles, Seals, Sea Lions and of course Whales. Humpbacks treated us with breaches and flybys. Just spectacular.
Thanks to Lew for this video. 🐳

Thanks to a heads up from our whale research friends Katy and Max, we knew the Southern rights were still in the area and our spotter found them nice and early, so all we had to do was sail out there - to Herald Point, just this side of Nanarup Beach. And they did not disappoint. They were doing all the things we love the Southern Rights for - rolling and lolling about near the coast, coming over to check us out and then continue to (s)mooch about, totally ignoring us bobbing around in close proximity (with our motors off). Doesn't get much better than this 😍
