During this morning’s cruise, passengers aboard the Hinchinbrook Explorer experienced calm seas and came across a mother and baby heading south with dives of 45 minutes. Two other whales were spotted further away and decided to breach whilst the vessel was heading back into dock.
During the afternoon cruise 2 pairs of mother’s and calves were sighted inside Fingal Island tail lobbing, pec and tail slapping with breaching for quote some time. On the return journey into the harbour Bottlenose dolphins joined the cruise.
