Whale Watching Moonshadow TQC Cruises Port Stephens Lee Matthews

The early morning showers have disappeared just in time for the 10am Whale Watch Cruise aboard the Hinchinbrook Explorer to depart. There is great anticipation onboard of what today may bring. We have not had to wait too long as just outside the heads on the Yaccaba side of the entrance to the Bay with the crew spotting three different pods, the skipper has cruised along side at the same pace of the whales to give everyone a good view of the whales. As we were about to leave the pods to continue their journey there has been startled white water splashing with the whales launching into a display of tail lobbing and slapping.
