Juvenile Behaviour

The afternoons tour was nothing short of extraordinary with juvenile humpback whales seen from onboard.

The combination of perfect weather and incredible wildlife sightings made it a memorable experience for everyone.

The highlight of the day was undoubtedly the interactions with humpback juveniles, which provided a rare and captivating display of their typical behaviours.

Lively Bottlenose Dolphins

The tour began under ideal conditions, with the ocean almost as smooth as glass, offering a serene and picturesque setting.

As we ventured out, we were immediately greeted by a lively scene of Bottlenose dolphins.

These playful creatures were busy feeding on an array of bait-balls, creating a dynamic spectacle in the water.

Amidst this activity, three majestic humpbacks cruised through the area, adding to the excitement.

Breathtaking Juvenile Humpback Displays

Our journey then led us to several encounters with humpback juveniles.

These young whales, full of energy and curiosity, put on an impressive show.

We were treated to close passes, allowing us to see these magnificent creatures up close.

The juveniles were particularly active, with breaches reaching into the tens, their powerful bodies soaring out of the water in a breathtaking display.

Playful Juveniles

The climax of the tour came when we discovered a final pair of juveniles.

These two seemed to be in a playful mood, as they rolled onto their backs and raised their pectoral fins in the sunny afternoon glow.

It felt like they were bidding us farewell with their graceful and endearing gestures.

Watching these young whales interact in such a natural and carefree manner was a truly heartwarming experience.

Beauty and Wonder of Marine Life

The afternoon tour was a vivid reminder of the beauty and wonder of marine life, particularly the humpback juveniles.

Their playful antics and awe-inspiring breaches left an indelible mark on all who witnessed them.

What a day it was, filled with unforgettable moments and a deeper appreciation for the incredible creatures that inhabit our oceans.
