Whale Watching Moonshadow TQC Cruises Port Stephens Lee Matthews

A fantastic morning on the water with Moonshadow-TQC Cruises!

Despite windy conditions and a small offshore roll, we spotted two pods of humpback whales migrating north. With around 7-minute dive times, our passengers enjoyed some great views as the whales surfaced and continued their journey.

We also cruised around beautiful Cabbage Tree Island, where two lazy seals were relaxing on the rocks while another two played in the water nearby. 🦭

The afternoon was quiet, with just a couple of pods of whales making their way along the coast on their annual migration. It’s always a privilege to see these majestic mammals in their natural environment.

Another great day whales, wildlife and spectacular Port Stephens scenery!
