Unbelievable! Its supposed to be getting quiet out there but the shows on all trips today were incredible.
A very inquisitive calf gave us a peek at its face over & over before Mum joined in with a massive breach. We then saw the whales dive deep, before popping up right next to our boat for very close encounters!
Looks like the southern right whales are not in a hurry to leave soon, so join us soon for an adventure!

The whales are reaching the end of their season now and fewer sightings are to be expected at this time of year.

🐳Some interesting facts about the 2024 whale sightings🐳

SRWs usually breed in cohorts, so the animals that had calves last year are different from those calving this year. This means that the number of cows visiting our shores to give birth varies yearly. Previously most cows gave birth every three years, but since the effects of climate change have affected their ability to find sufficient food (and get into good enough body condition to sustain a pregnancy) their calving intervals have increased to 4 or 5 years, and even longer.

Interestingly, some SRWs choose to head up along the west coast in the summer months to areas where upwelling of nutrients allows the blooming of zooplankton, so whales can feed there for a few months before heading back down to the Southern Ocean in search of other prey. Some juveniles, whose energy requirements are lower, may spend even longer along our shore.

We can expect the next cohort of cows and their calves to start arriving in late winter/early spring next year again. In the meantime, we should keep our eyes peeled for humpback whales, and our year-round southern African residents, the Bryde's Whales.

Best ever mother & calf whale encounter of the season!
It was an excellent morning out whale-watching, with this little calf spending a good amount of time with its mother beside the boat!
We had choppy seas this morning calming down as the day moved on making it a beautiful experience for us all.

Jumping for joy!
As we headed out this afternoon, we witnessed breach after breach from very lively southern right whales. Not all of the whales were showing us huge airborne displays; our first trips were stunning and relaxed, with whales close to the boat.

We are starting early at 7 a.m. tomorrow and heading out all day again, so join us on a two-hour boat trip in the discovery of whales.🐳🐳
