The visibility may have been terrible, but feeling the deep bass of a humpback whaleβs song vibrate through your chest - incomparable ππ πΆ

βLetβs manifest for this whale to be singing a loud, beautiful song when we get inβ

Humpback whale pair in the Turks and Caicos Islands
Amazing weather yesterday and amazing whales to go with it! We were able to spend time with this resting pair of humpback whales and they gave us some beautiful encounters. There's only a few weeks left of the season and we can't wait to see what it brings!

Last week we had some stunning in-water encounters π. These adult humpback whales were so curious and kept approaching for close interactions.

Turn up the volume for Sedge's beautiful singing... he was serenading us in the clear shallow water before swimming over for a closer look. There is nothing quite like hearing (and feeling!) whale song in the water. Thank you Sedge for an amazing afternoon πππΆ

A pair of adult whales on our trip this morning - one of them was curious and came over for a closer look ππ
Humpback whale season has started!! We were so excited to start our 2023 season with some beautiful encounters with Pinball and her new calf! In this video she turned to approach us when she came up to take a breath. We can't wait to see what else this season has in store!

It may be the end of humpback season, but today was a magical first for us - 2 mother and calf pairs together ππ π
Finally a day of beautifully calm weather and we were so happy to find ourselves in the water with this amazing mother and her calf.

There are just a couple of weeks left of the 2022 humpback whale season and we're enjoying each of these breathtaking encounters while we can! We wish whale season would last all year!

So much love for this beautiful whale and her calf - this is just a short clip of today's incredible encounters. We're so excited our favourite whale is still here and we're able to watch her calf growing bigger and stronger every week, ready for their migration back north.

Yesterday was magical! We were fortunate enough to be in the water with a mother and calf pair with a singing male escorting them. Just incredible!

A stunning encounter with an old friend.

Over the last week we have had beautiful encounters with a mother humpback whale we met in 2019 and 2020 with her calf βFireworkβ. This year, she returned to TCI with a new calf and we couldnβt be happier to spend time with her.

We're off the water for bad weather for a couple of days, but that gives us the opportunity to look back over some of the beautiful encounters from the last week. This season has been amazing so far and we can't wait to see what the second half will bring!

Firework's mum returns with her new calf
Every day on the water is a good day, but some days are just magic ππ
Yesterday afternoon we had beautiful encounters with a mother we knew well from 2019 and 2020 when she was in TCI with her calf we nicknamed 'Firework' because of the firework pattern on it's fluke. Seeing her again yesterday with a new calf was incredible - she was so relaxed, just like in previous years, allowing her calf to cruise along next to us while we floated and watched in awe.

It is always really special when the whales get curious and come over for a closer look! We gave this mother and calf pair plenty of space and were lucky enough to have this beautiful encounter.

On Valentine's Day there was some magic in the water! The visibility wasn't so good again, but our guests were lucky enough to experience this extended, peaceful encounter with two adult humpback whales. Here is a short clip of the beautiful encounter - they were resting for minutes and slowly moved into a nose-to-nose position while we floated calmly at the surface - a perfect Valentine's Day pose!
.

These are the kind of in-water encounters we live for! The whales are relaxed and unthreatened by our presence, and we're so privileged to be able to watch them and share their world for a few moments.

A sweet little swim-by from yesterday's trip.

The water is still rough out there but we were thrilled to see new mother and calf pairs that arrived in the area while we were off the water.

After an incredible start to the season, we have spent the last week stuck on land due to bad weather and we can't wait to get back out there!
Here is a short clip from last week of Ajax (at the back) at her escort - so peaceful it almost seems like the video is in slow motion.
