Humpback hammer is a part of the Language of the Whales and is when a tail slap swings sideways from height and comes crashing back down with an explosion of white water! 🔨🐳 See More at The Daily Whale™️

Breaching Humpback Whale experience it was onboard both tours today as we were spoilt with spectacular breaching and pec slapping as the lone whale travellers called out for a companion with the power of the Language of the Whales🐳😍 See More at The Daily Whale™️➡️ https://whalewatchwesternaustralia.com/breaching-humpback-whale-experience/

Ever wondered why whales spyhop? 👀🐋

A spyhop is when a whale lifts its head vertically out of the water, sometimes bringing its eyes above the surface, essentially giving it a chance to get a better look at what’s happening above the water.

Humpback whales are naturally curious, and during a close encounter, they may spyhop alongside a vessel to investigate their surroundings.

This curious humpback popped up right on our bow while one of our guests gave him a wave. 👋🐋

Of course, we can’t know exactly what a whale is thinking in a moment like this, but when they choose to approach us and repeatedly pop their head above the surface, it certainly feels like the curiosity goes both ways. We lost count of the number of times the two whales spyhopped and circled the boat on this day!

Humpback Whale peduncle slap is a powerful part of the Language of the Whales and often used in dominant or defensive communications🐳 Today with so many pods having entered the sighting grounds we had great examples of a peduncle slap with multiple pods performing these with conversations amongst the whales unfolding all around🎧🐋 See More at The Daily Whale™️➡️ https://whalewatchwesternaustralia.com/humpback-whale-peduncle-slap/

Humpback whales can be so curious! 🐋

These two cheeky whales circled our boat over and over again, spyhopping from bow to stern and keeping a very close eye on us.
This lovely moment captures Gemma, who provides our onboard commentary, waving to them as they float alongside the boat, almost as though they’re listening to every word she says!

One of the things we love most about meeting the humpback whales travelling past our coastline is seeing just how different each encounter can be. Every whale seems to have its own personality.
Some are incredibly inquisitive and come over for a closer look, while others are focused on their journey south. Some are a little more shy and keep their distance, and others start cautiously before curiosity gets the better of them.

You never quite know who you’re going to meet out there.

Join us on board! Tours are running every day until November from Fremantle.

How do whales navigate around ships? Today we had a fantastic example how a Humpback Whale safely navigates around vessel traffic and it is all to do with sound. Today we met a beautiful yearling who was exploring the waters just off Fremantle including the shipping lane🚢🐳 See More at The Daily Whale™️➡️ https://whalewatchwesternaustralia.com/how-do-whales-navigate-around-ships/
