Whale Watching Wednesday 6th August

05 Aug 2008

Another fantastic day whale watching off the Gold Coast, today conditions were calm and glorious.  We came across a couple of whales happily heading south, only 3-4 miles off Coolangatta, then we spotted several more pods and off we went, well, we were blessed yet again by many whales, two pods joined together and came over to the boat a few times, the crowd again getting very excited.  All up, today we possibly saw in excess of 12 whales heading south and on the way home we came across another two pods heading north, they were breaching about 500 meters off Banora Point – wow! what a day and we saw dolphins plus an unidentified whale that we suspect was a Minke, this whale was around this area yesterday too – he was a bit too quick to let us watch him, but we got a pretty good view of his dorsal fin.

Cheers for now
