19 JUNE 2025
The warm sunshine and clear skies, along with the cool sea air and smooth sea conditions provided for a perfect day to get out on the water to visit our giant friends of the sea. On both our morning and afternoon cruises onboard our newest member of the fleet MV Osprey, we located several pods of humpback whales just off Fingal Lighthouse with a few pods amidst heat runs. This gave our passengers and crew some light entertainment watching these magnificent creatures in action. While cruising past Cabbage Tree Island on the way back into Nelson Bay, we spotted some Australian Fur seals lazing on the rocks also enjoying the warmth of the sun. With the next few days looking brilliant from a weather and cruise conditions perspective, and with some good numbers of whales beginning to come through, it’s a great time to get out amongst the action!
