We have been offline from our website for a little while now but back into the whale watching updates! Today is Captain Midgey’s 14th Birthday! He had a bow wow of a time with lots of cake and love from crew and passengers. Always knowing where the whales are...
The afternoon cruise was a relaxing affair with 2 whales found 5 miles east of Point Cartwright. They were charging north eager to get to the breeding grounds. They did come in for a close look at the boat and gave us a gorgeous fluke up dive.
Humpbacks and Minkes! This morning out on the water we had good sea conditions with a lazy swell and no wind. A little drizzle to start with but that cleared right up as soon as we found the whales. We found a pod of 2 slow moving humpbacks about 8 miles offshore. We...

What a wonderful surprise for our lucky passengers to find a mother with newborn calf and escort in calm waters, just 1 nautical mile off Point Cartwright this morning. The rest of our morning trip involved watching the newborn calf learning how to tail slap. We then...
