🐋 HUMP DAY FUN FACT!

Ever wondered where the “hump” in humpback whale comes from?

It’s the distinctive arched shape of their back as they dive — made even more noticeable by the way they curve their body and raise their back above the surface. 🌊

And that iconic hump is just one of the features that makes these incredible giants so recognisable! 💙

How to tell which Whale you’ve seen by their fins 🐋👇🏼

Two of our visiting whales that you may encounter on your trip with us are the Southern Right Whale & the Humpback Whale.. but how do you know which is which 🤔

The easiest way to distinguish them is by their fins (pectoral flippers)

A humpback whale has long, narrow and pointed fins with a white marking on the underside and a dark upper surface.

A southern right whale has broad, relatively short and paddle-like fins that are usually dark.

This can help you identify which whale you’re seeing, especially from a distance. 🐋

Days out at sea like this 🐋🐬
Every trip is unique and special in its own way and I two trips will ever give the same sightings but that’s what makes it so unique.

🐬💙 Happy World Dolphin Day! 🌊

Today we’re celebrating these intelligent, playful and fascinating ocean ambassadors! ✨

💡 Did you know?
🐬 Dolphins use echolocation to navigate and find food.
🐬 They communicate using clicks, whistles and body movements.
🐬 Some dolphins have unique signature whistles — almost like their own names!
🐬 Dolphins can sleep with one half of their brain at a time, allowing them to stay alert while resting. 👀

Let’s celebrate these incredible animals and do our part to protect the ocean they call home. 🌍💙
