Whale Sightings

The phrase ‘Whale Soup’ is being whispered frequently at the moment – we seem to be coming into the peak of the northern migration of the whales traveling along the Port Stephens coastline. Our crew are reporting numerous pods within sight of the boat, one pod of whales that was of high interest was a pod of whales showing off with double breaches during the 10am whale watch cruise. But there are just so many whales that we appear to being floating within a massive bowl of whales.

The afternoon cruise has began with a few showers about, but the clouds have quickly disappeared and the blue sky & sunshine has reappeared. The ‘Whale Soup’ from our morning cruise has continued with large numbers of pods of Humpback Whales. We have stayed with one lone active whale near to the Fingal Island Lighthouse, the Humpback Whale has been tail slapping and peduncle throwing non stop, creating alot of white water splashing.
