Dolphins, Hammerheads and more spotted during first weekend of 2019

23/5/2019

Whale watching season officially began this weekend with all tours embarking on their first trips of the season and it wasn't just humpback whales getting camera shutters clicking. All tours reported sightings of a huge range marine wildlife delighting lucky whale watchers. 

​​Ocean Extreme cruised with humpbacks on both Saturday and Sunday but it was dolphins that stole the show. A pod was sighted swimming close to the boat on Saturday afternoon giving customers a chance to grab a few epic shots as they frolicked in the wake.

Customers on board Ocean Extreme also caught a glimpse of a couple of minke whales on Sunday afternoon. It is much rarer to see minkes than the more commonly spotted humpback whales as their population numbers are much lower.

Discovery Cruisers also had their fair share of wildlife encounters spotting a cheeky seal, dolphins and a hammerhead shark on the first tours of 2019.
To experience such a range of wildlife off the coast of Sydney at the moment is truly inspiring. Any day now will see the floodgates open for some epic humpback whale encounters and after this weekend I cannot wait!
