1ST JULY 2015 – WHALE WATCH TRIP GETS LUCKY
After watching a few Pectoral Fin slaps from a pod of whales they decided to turn it on for us and jumped a few times as well.A great afternoon out considering we had a little fresh breeze from the south. Everyone enjoyed the trip, at least that what they all said!
Another Great whale watch at Coffs Harbour

2ND JULY 2015 – WHALE WATCH WITH A DIFFERENCE!
Sharks were on the list of sightings on todays Whale Watch trip. A carcass of a Sperm Whale was floating near Coffs Harbour and brought predators in to feed!
Flat sea conditions were great for the boat trip, which took us from the Sharks to a breaching whale, which showed us some aerial stunts. Whilst it was quiet other than that, everyone was pleased with trip and what we saw!

5TH JULY 2015 – WHAT A DAY FOR WHALE WATCHING!
Blessed with beautiful weather, today was the perfect day to go whale watching. After a short ride from the harbour, we stumbled across a pod of four whales heading north. After 30 minutes of “blows” one of the group became extremely playful, tail slapping and pectoral slapping. Heading home, we came across a whale breaching. Check out this shot of his tail, going down for a dive!

6TH JULY 2015 – A WAVE GOODBYE TO FINISH OF THE DAY
Amazing sea conditions and jumping whales had everyone on the 2pm Whale Watch up on their feet trying to get that perfect shot of a Humpback Whale breaching.
We spent a long time with a pod of 4 whales near the end of the trip and this shot taken by Maddi Comisari of a Humpback Whale waving goodbye to everyone as we left. Perfect day!!!!

24TH JULY 2015 – PLAYFUL DUO FOR 9AM WHALE WATCH
We had two very playful whales this morning on our 9am Whale Watch, we think they were male and female and matched for mating up the coast. We followed these two for the most of the trip as they were breaching, pectoral slapping, Tail rolls and slaps!! Dean Pattison took this great shot from the boat of one of the whales winding up for a tail slap.
