Whales: Creatures of Unfathomable Mystery and Size

humback whale under water

Apart from some of the more popular creatures that have captivated the imagination of children, very few people have truly taken an interest in animals. For many of us, the animals we are familiar with are only those that we eat, keep as pets and the ones for viewing in zoos. They never really got in our way, especially now in the modern age, and there is very little use in knowing them unless you are a zoologist.

It is a different story with whales, however. These majestic creatures of the sea have always struck in our hearts. They live serenely in the deepest parts of the oceans, but what has really left a mark has nothing to do with their actions but our own: hunting and story-telling. As tragic as the former and sweet as the latter may be, there is no denying that whales are thriving again.

WHALE REPORT : 18/07/2016 DEPARTS :TWICE DAILY 1015 & 1330 FROM BOAT HARBOUR LEEUWIN RD AUGUSTA SPECIAL : ABALONE SERVED ON MORNING TOURS & LOCAL CHEESE ON AFTERNOON TOURS
After a wild weekend of flooding we ventured out this morning. Seeing over 18 Humpbacks within 1 mile of the marina, they were swimming in groups of three slowly through Flinders bay and almost into the marina They would stop and frolic with sea weed and give the occasional pec slap, Latest trip advisor review: The trip was well organised, easy to book on line, staff were friendly and helpful as well as professional. We were extra lucky on the day and saw many whales, with the guides providing information and commentary at intervals. The staff were very respectful of these wondeful sea creatures and I felt that our interactions with the whales were orchestrated by the whales and not the tour operators, very natural.
Well worth the money, an excellent trip which I will do again and thoroughly recommend to all.
