14TH AUGUST 2015 – HUMBACK WHALES KEEP BOAT CORNERED
What an amazing day on the water watching these beautiful creatures in their natural environment.
At 10am we went just out of the harbour to find one on the northern side of Mutton Bird Island!!!
we then found 2 Humpback Whales having a ball of a time, for about 50mins to an hour we had these 2 whales tail slapping, breaching, and pectoral slapping so close to the boat!!
best Whale watching trip yet!!!

5TH SEPTEMBER 2015 – JUVENILE HUMPBACK WHALE FOLLOWS BOAT!!!
Our 2pm Whale Watch was amazing on Saturday afternoon!!
We had one Humpback Whale who followed us for just about the entire trip and getting really up close to our passengers and we couldn’t actually move anywhere because it was swimming under the boat!!. Although there was a little wind about, this couldn’t damper the excitement on seeing these beautiful mammals in their natural environment.
It is the turn around point for the Humpback Whales now and they are heading south again back to Antarctica so book now with Jetty Dive to go see these amazing creatures!!

13TH SEPTEMBER 2015 – ACROBATIC HUMPBACKS OFF COFFS COAST
With a calm sea and blue sky, this afternoon was a perfect day for whale watching. After a short journey from the harbour we spotted our first pod of whales. They were not hard to spot either, spending almost more time out of the water than in! One of the whales jumped at least 30 times while his companion worked on her back stroke!

28TH SEPTEMBER 2015 – HUMPBACK WHALES STEAMING SOUTH
Today we had a 9am and a 11am Whale Watch. No wind and the beautiful hot sun made it a great morning to be looking for whales.
Both times we had groups of 3 – 4 whales and they were happily making their way south to Antarctica, lots of tail and pectoral slaps but we did not have many big jumps although they did get really close when the whales turned and came to us!!!

29TH SEPTEMBER 2015 – 8 WHALES SURROUND THE BOAT
Today we had about 8 Humpback Wales swimming around the boat for almost the whole trip!! One of the whales was a very energetic juvenile whale who wouldn’t stop jumping. Plenty of tail rolls too!
Great photo taken today by Michelle Jeffery of the juvenile whale enjoying the sun!!
