π From the last day of our 2024 season!
π Brydes whales (Balaenoptera edeni) are also known as βtropical whalesβ, due to their preference for waters of 16Β° Celsius or higher

Unedited. Raw footage from this afternoon, our season last day with crazy action. An insane mackerel ball with a sneaky Brydes whale arriving unannounced π Thanks for the capture @Isabel_Ley πΈ

ππ We just spent 2 hours snorkelling with this Brydeβs Whale!!
π Such an unusual encounter. The Brydeβs Whale is normally a shy and sneaky whale - you barely see them coming and next thing theyβve swallowed a bunch of sardines and are off again.
π₯ BUT we just got out of the water after an incredible encounter where this whale chose to make itself visible, circling round and round everyone for about 2 hours. I donβt think anyone can say theyβve ever spent 2 hours in the water with a Brydeβs whale!

π Very unique sightings today!
ππ½ We spent most of our time around 15kms out to sea - which is when weβre past the continental shelf.
π¦ When weβre this far out - dynamics change.
Suddenly instead of having the general shark species seen in shallower waters, we got blessed on almost every drop today to see blue sharks!
π¦ We also had cape fur seal, a mako and brydes whale!!

π Some of the action from yesterday - Day 12 on the run!
π¬ A few things you could see on every outing β huge pods of dolphin sometimes numbering in their thousands, numerous species of sharks (if visibility allows) are seen individually or in large packs on most βjump-insβ. A huge variety of oceanic bird life including the well-known Cape Gannet, which arrives in their thousands, 5 species of Albatross, Petrels, Cormorants, Terns and of course, through it all, we have the annual Humpback Whale migration offering loads of breaching and surface displays due to the topography of our coastline.
The attraction of it all is the fact that one just never knows what one will come across or experience on any given day. π
