Our whale watching cruise departing from the Augusta Boat Harbour this morning and within moments of departing a tall, wafty blow was sighted just up ahead. Slowing and watching carefully we wondered who the exhalation belonged to when suddenly squeals of joy came from the bow, right underneath everyones feat three Humpbacks surfaced! They seemed…
Augusta wildlife watching is always filled with surprises and today we enjoyed the company of competitive Humpbacks, curious Albatross and feeding Common Dolphins in Flinders Bay, Augusta. Our morning was busy as the Humpback Highway was in full swing with many pods migrating around Cape Leeuwin and heading north. Two competition pods were underway and…
Humpback Whale Tinder unfolded in front of our eyes today as a beautiful female Humpback, named Bella after one of our young Pod Members onboard, began to communicate her Tinder bio in the Language of the Whales™. Bella’s brother commented ‘this is like Whale Tinder’, and over the next hour or so, that is exactly…
Southern Ocean whales and magnificent conditions today as we joined the Humpback highway, danced with the local Bottlenose Dolphins and delighted in the company of the most magnificent Southern Right Whale. Our morning began with a heavily pregnant, very large and very relaxed female Humpback who had her male escort close by. A dominant tail…
The northern Humpback Whale migration is well underway as hundreds of Humpbacks currently move through Flinders Bay and past Cape Leeuwin. A picture perfect day greeted us and we departed to find some sleeping, relaxed whales just outside the Augusta Boat Harbour. Tall exhalations captured our interest and just up ahead a competition pod was…
White Whale Pearl returns to Augusta as we re-sighted a very special Southern Right Whale who was born in season 2016 in Flinders Bay, Augusta.

White Water Wednesday as the Humpback Whales filled our day with breach after breach and tail lob after tail lob! Beginning the morning with action as a pod of three raced across Flinders Bay and the dominant male begun to tail lob. Two other pods were following them and it was most important this male…
A big surprise today as we sighted our first Humpback calf for season 2019 during our afternoon experience in Flinders Bay, Augusta. The first inkling something was different about this pod was the extremely quiet behaviour and low profile they were keeping. At first we sighted just the one large adult when suddenly a tiny…
The Flinders Bay chase is on as we countdown the days as fewer and fewer female Humpbacks are easily available to the males and the competition is intense! Over the next couple of weeks we will start to see more pregnant females moving past the coastline and fewer females looking to mate this season. The…
Augusta Lighthouse was watching over the Humpback Whales today as they enjoyed the beautiful morning conditions. A dozen Humpback whales were shuffling through the area with three enormous males surfacing alongside us and joining the pod. Travelling in cruise control they approached us to investigate while still keeping the migration rhythm ticking along. Just beautiful…
