On our first cruise today we didn’t have to travel far before coming across four humpbacks. They were very active showing off with a couple of great breaches and some awesome tail throws. 🚀🐋💙

On our midday cruise we saw plenty of whales, in total there were about twenty five of them within six hundred meter radius.🤩 We followed a pod of four humpbacks who were swimming along quite quickly. We then followed along with a different pod of four, one of which surprised us with a wonderful tail throw. 🙌

Patience paid off on our final trip today. After searching for a while we spotted a breaching whale and then were treated to multiple beautiful breaches. On our way back to Sydney Harbour we had a lovely pod of dolphins swimming along side our boat. 🐋🐬😊

After some early rain showers this morning the sun came out and it turned into a warm sunny day. 🌧️ 🌞😊

On our morning cruise we came across four large humpbacks about one mile out of the Harbour heads. We were lucky to have plenty of wonderful close encounters with them.🐋💙

On our midday cruise we didn’t know where to look first as we had pods of whales on either side of our boat with a total of five whales. One of them showed off with a tail slap and we watched on as they made their way south.

On our last cruise we didn’t have to travel far before finding a pod of two humpbacks who weren’t in any particular hurry. We then spotted a separate pod behind us who did some lovely pec fin slapping. We went to check them out and got to see a great tail throw from one of these whales. 🐋 😊

This morning we saw a total of seven whales. We started with a pod of three and then another four joined them. After these pods split into two again we followed the group of three who surfaced consistently. Just before we departed one of them showed us a great tail throw.

Then in the afternoon we had some lovely encounters with two beautiful humpbacks. We also saw a nice breach and some great tail action.

This morning we found a pod of three humpbacks just a few miles out the Harbour heads. One of them did a couple of tail throws and popped its head up out of the water to check us out. These whales weren’t in any particular hurry, swimming around in circles and coming to the surface regularly.

The whales were a little tricky to find this afternoon but we found a single southbound humpback two miles off Blue Fish Point who was quickly cruising along.

We had a wonderful day of whale watching with active whales on both of our cruises.

This morning we found three humpbacks together with some dolphins who were amazing to watch. We saw a variety of behaviours from these active whales. They started with a tail slap and a couple of awesome head lunges and then continued with some fantastic breaches, tail throws, tail slaps and pec fin slapping.

Then in the afternoon we came across two whales just outside the Harbour heads. One of these humpbacks did a couple of tail throws. It then went down for a very steep dive and came up with a nice big breach followed by some more awesome breaches.
Today’s whales left everyone with smiles on their faces 😊🙏🐋

Yesterday (Monday) we found a single whale just outside the Harbour heads. We then found two pods of three whales each within close proximity to each other who were travelling south together.

On our midday trip we found the same two pods of whales from this morning who had joined together making a pod of six. These beautiful big humpbacks were fantastic to watch as they came to the surface regularly. They put on a great display of repeated pec fin slapping, a couple of great tail throws and one of them even lifted its head out of the water.

On our last trip today we initially came across a pair of whales who were logging at the surface. We then made our way to a pod of four who showed off with some amazing tail slapping, tail throws, and pec fin slapping which was very exciting to watch.

We had a fantastic day of whale watching with breaching whales on both of our trips. 💙💙

This morning we started our cruise with two humpbacks, one of which did a lovely breach. We then made our way to another two whales who both put on an amazing display of breaching, head lunging and pec fin slapping all the way from North Head to Diamond bay 🤩🤩

In the afternoon there were plenty of whales for us to see who were all cruising along making their way south. We followed a pod of two and one of them started showing off with some great breaches. At the same time another whale nearby started breaching so we got to watch the two whales breaching one after the other which was a real treat for all on board Whale Dreamer.🚀🚀🐋🙏
