27 SEPTEMBER
It was a beautiful morning out on the water with Moonshadow-TQC Cruises, and our guests were treated to some wonderful encounters with local marine life.
Early in the cruise, a few breaches were spotted in the distance, but as we made our way closer the whales slipped quietly beneath the surface. Patience soon paid off when we came across a mother Humpback and her calf right near the entrance to the heads. The pair stayed close to the boat, delighting passengers as they circled around us, with the calf adding to the excitement by showing off a couple of playful tail flips.
Adding to the experience, a couple of dolphins made a welcome appearance in the bay, bringing even more smiles to those on board. While we didn’t make it as far as Cabbage Tree Island today, the close-up whale and dolphin encounters made for a truly memorable morning on the water.
