We have blue skies and sunshine for our first official day of Whale Watch Cruises at Port Stephens! Hinchinbrook Explorer has headed in a southerly direction once we reached the Fingal Island Lighthouse on the gamble that we would encounter a Humpback Whale as they start making their way north bound. A little of patience was required, but after a call from the Skipper on Envision who had located a lone Humpback Whale we turned the vessel around, heading back towards the harbour entrance. The juvenile Humpback whale was quite active, displaying a number of breaches, much to the delight of all passengers and crew.
