Perth and Fremantle Whale Watching Tours 12th October 2017 The Humpback calves were following in mums footprints today as two mother and calf pods raced towards our vessel with a whole crowd of males following.

Fremantle Whales 11th October 2017 We had a big escort pod today of a mother, her calf and two enthusiastic followers!

The Whales of Perth 8th October 2017 We sighted the largest female for the southern migration so far today and her enormous calf!

The Western Australian Southern Humpback Migration 7th October 2017 Cruising out from beautiful Fremantle we could see breaching and peduncle slapping off in the distance against Rottnest Island and once we arrived we could see what all the commotion was about, a young calf and his mum were defending their spot on the coast!

Humpback Calves Fremantle 6th October 2017 The baby Humpbacks were making a bit of a splash today as one little fellow decided he would spend his morning playing with a pod of Bottlenose Dolphins and he made sure to show off all of his tricks including peduncle slap, tail slap and even a breach over his mums ba...
Whale Watching Perth 5th October 2017 The Humpbacks were all around today but something seemed a little bit different as we sighted the same behaviour amongst all pods. Orca (aka Killer Whales) have been sighted along the Western Australian coastline over the last few days and with at least one known pod o...
Whale Watching Fremantle 4th October 2017 Mothers and calves seemed a lot more relaxed today without all the boys chasing them around like yesterday morning!

Humpback Whales Southern Migration 3rd October 2017 The Western Australian Humpbacks are heading south towards their summer feeding grounds found in Antarctica and the 2017 calves (all 2-3,000 of them) are now travelling with mum down the coast on their very first road trip.

Perth Whale Watching Peduncle Slap Spectacular 2nd October 2017 Today we watched for over one hour peduncle slap after peduncle slap just off of the Perth beaches and we lost count after the first thirty!

Summer & Jess 30th September 2017 Today we had some very special guests onboard and the whales seemed to know that their best human friends had come to meet them because for the very first time ever we sighted a female Southern Right Whale and her calf interacting with a female Humpback Whale and her c...
Humpback Whales Playing off Rottnest Island 29th September 2017 Another eight big Humpback Whales were playing just off Rottnest Island today and everyone joined the pod, including us and the seaweed! As three separate pods became one we noticed the youngest male in the group take a very big interest in us and as he came over so di...
Humpback Whales in the Perth Rain 28th September 2017 We were surrounded by whales and gentle rain today as off in the distance enormous peduncle slaps told us that our Humpbacks were communicating to each other. Approaching we met three separate pods who were all in the middle of a deep conversation and all eight whales...

Humpback Calf Off Rottnest 25th September 2017 We had a re-sighting of the Humpback calf and his mum from yesterday this morning and although mum was enjoying a sleep her little one seemed to recognise us and was a bit playful!

Spring Whale Watching in Perth 18th September 2017 Whale Watching with Humpback Whales is often interesting as the more whales within a pod the more social or competitive it generally is, especially during the migration season. So you can imagine the scene of 12 Humpback Whales in three separate pods all enjoying each...
Perth Humpback Whales 17th September 2017 The start of the southern migration brings many young whales who are almost at or have just reached maturity.
