Morning Tour
On our morning tour we found a lone Humpback whale to the south of Race Rocks Ecological Reserve. This specific whale was behaving a little elusively so we decided to leave it be and carry on our search for more wildlife.
We were lucky enough to find another Humpback on our search. This one moving really fast, a Humpback whale’s top speed is approximately 26km/h! Captain Ian did the best whale tracking of his life to keep up with it.
A great example of how independently minded these wild animals are and how we are really the guests in their home.
Afternoon Tour
Transient Killer Whales were out in abundance in the afternoon, approximately 6 or 7 matrilines were congregated all I one area. It was certainly the most we have seen all season at the one time. We found them all hanging out south of Constance Bank, a big killer whale get together. The family pods were made up of 3 to 10 individuals each accumulating in over 30 whales! Simply amazing!
As if that wasn’t enough we had perfect viewing conditions, flat calm and beautiful sunshine!
