Whale Sighting - Thu 17th Jun 2010

Whales sighted off True Blue vessel Explorer this season: 69 humpback whales, 2 minke, 220 Offshore or Oceanic Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus), approx 74 Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops aduncus), 2 Australian Fur Seal. Flocks of Gannets, 20 Black Browed Albatross and plenty of Sea Gulls.

Today Explorer and her crew ventured out on the afternoon cruise. Although an overcast day it did not keep the Whales away. 3 Whales were spotted off Ben Buckla.

These whales showed off with some breaching, fluke up dives and head lunges.

Just to add to the adventure we also had plenty of Seagulls & Albatross along with a school of Dolphins following the vessel on the journey home.
