What a fabulous sunny day for Whale Watching – All day long! On our first whale watching trip, we only headed offshore Mooloolaba 6 nautical miles before spotting whales. It took us roughly 35 minutes. The whale we saw came very close to the boat, only 50 metres from us! It was very exciting for all of us on board. Had peduncle throws, tail slapping, and lots of time on the surface. The post 13 August 2020 Whale Watching Report appeared first on Whale One ..read more

On today’s afternoon Whale Watching trip, we headed out roughly 9 nautical miles from the Sunshine Coast. It took us around 1.5 hours to find whales – and we ended up whales on 2 occasions seeing 3 in total for the trip.  The first occasion was a mum and calf, then after some time we saw a tail slapping in the distance. We believed this whale to be communicating with the mum/calf pair. The mum and calf were just hanging out and logging – spending time at the surface with relatively low activity levels at the time we were observing them.  The post 9 August 2020 Whale Watching Report ..read more

We’re never disappointed for surface action when it’s raining! Today it took us about an hour in rainy weather to spot a whale, and when we did, we were in for such a treat! We were met with heaps of breaching action, short dives, head lunges, pec slaps and even had an incredible DOUBLE breach!  The post 7 August 2020 Whale Watching Report appeared first on Whale One ..read more

Today was a warm sunny day at sea, we went out roughly 11.5 nautical miles and spotted humpback whales on 3 separate occasions! Though all the whales we saw spent a bit of time underwater, they did come about 30 metres from the vessel which was very exciting for all of us on board!  These whales looked to be a mum and calf – and two other adults. Males perhaps? It was trip filled with anticipation and excitement.  The post 6 August 2020 Whale Watching Report appeared first on Whale One ..read more

Whale Watching all day today! The first trip we went out around 8 nautical miles before seeing 2 very young, curious whales that came right up to the boat! We could tell they were young due to their size – they were right next to  the boat so we could estimate they were roughly 8-10 metres long. On the second trip, we went out roughly 7 nautical miles before seeing a mum and calf and 2 males. Lots of diving, logging and tail slaps on this trip by these big animals! Our guests were stoked!

It was a cool, cloudy winter’s day, and we went out roughly 10 nautical miles to find humpback whales. We spotted these majestic animals on 2 different occasions – The first we saw a mum and a calf just at the surface. We hung around at a safe distance to see if they would warm up to us. While we were waiting, we saw some HUGE breaches in the distance with some tail slapping. We went over and found two or three pods which unfortunately stopped their activity as we came up a little closer, so we were unable to see what was happening.

Today we had partly cloudy skies with a bit of low rolling swell. We always say that the best way to cure seasickness is to see some whales We saw whales on two occasions – the first was a mum and calf that ended up coming right by the boat. We then saw three juveniles (males, perhaps?) traveling north. The baby humpback was head lunging and tail slapping, while mum was chill and just breathing at the surface – blowing steam up around 3-4 metres. In the afternoon we had two whales approach us around two nautical miles offshore. They were blowing and popping their heads up heaps – most likely ..read more

A calm, sunny Sunshine Coast morning offshore from Mooloolaba – We found two whales in the distance that ended up coming roughly 10 metres from the boat. We saw three whales in our first encounter, then in the second encounter we had a mum, calf and escort, and lastly on our third encounter we saw two (what seemed to be) adult whales.  We observed these whales breaching, perhaps the humpback whale calf feeding, peduncle throws, tail slaps, and overall LOTS of surface action.  The post 29 July 2020 Whale Watching Report appeared first on Whale One ..read more

A beautiful morning in Mooloolaba, with clear sunny skies as our Whale Watching tour today took off at a relatively slower start. We headed out roughly 17 nautical miles off the Sunshine Coast before spotting some rather elusive whales. After hanging around these whales for a while, seeing if they would warm up to us, they came roughly 50 metres from the boat. We could see from this that perhaps they were juveniles, who were very focused on heading north. The post 20 July 2020 Whale Watching Report appeared first on Whale One ..read more
