Well it’s been quiet out on the ocean today, and it definitely feels like the end of the season is approaching, so we thought we’d share some of our favourite, breathtaking, breaches from the last few weeks!

One of our favourite aspects of whale watching is the unpredictability, followed by the incredible displays these Humpback can put on for us!

With the end of the season approaching, our last trip will be on the 16th November, don’t miss your chance to see the magic of the Humpback Highway before then!

Well the weather definitely made the spotting tricky this afternoon! A massive amount of fog rolled along the coast, but our afternoon Express trip got lucky with a mum and calf that gave us a very fast breach and a great head lunge to go with it!

A hazy morning out on the ocean, but the party was still going as far as the whales were concerned! We found a pod heading close to shore along North head, they really came to life at the Harbour entrance with a big breach and a close pass of the boat. Not bad for a Monday morning!

We only have a short time left of the 2025 season so book yourselves a ticket soon for a chance to see our 
wonderful whales before they disappear to the cooler waters for another 6 months!!

A beautiful day so far, calm conditions and an inquisitive calf on our second trip on the day giving the boat some nice close passes and a few head lunges to top it off!

Our midday cruise gave us the show we were hoping for! 🚀

We wandered up North and found a pod of 4 Humpbacks that was made up of 2 adult mothers and 2 young calves.

The calves, as we expected had a lot more energy than the adults and put on a show for us then they decided to change course directly for us! So, we stopped engines, floated around as they swam past for a look at us and we also got a close look at some breaching and pec-slapping as they passed by!

This cloudy weather isn't stopping us!

BOOM! Just less than half an hour ago we witnessed a breach from a stunning humpback off North-Bondi! 🐋

You always need to be at the ready, as you never know when they'll try to go airborne! 🚀
