Aboard MV Osprey today, passengers were treated to an active day on the water with plenty happening along the Humpback Highway.

Several pods of Humpback Whales were spotted traveling north, while others could be seen further out making their way south. Near the headlands, we found whales putting on a show with spectacular breaches and pectoral slaps that had everyone reaching for their cameras.

Adding to the excitement, both Common and Bottlenose Dolphins joined the day’s sightings, rounding out an impressive display of Port Stephens marine life.

With whales in every direction and dolphins close by, it was a memorable day for everyone onboard.
