Whale Sightings

Conditions off shore for our whale watch cruise could not get any better today, with what can only be described as glassed out seas, nice and calm with just a gentle roll of swell, brilliant blue skies and warm winter sunshine! The whale highway is busy again this morning with numerous pods seen, one whale even surprise everyone aboard the Hinchinbrook Explorer as it dove under the boat and popped up on the bow. We also had a pod of Short Beaked Common Dolphins interacting with a pod of Humpback Whales. The seals on Cabbage Tree Island are loving all the warm sunshine as they bask on their favourite rocks at the base of the island, while a few seals were in the water swimming.

For the keen twitchers or bird watchers, we have seen Sea Eagle soaring above on the thermal as it conserved its energy while searching for food.
