Whale Watching Gold Coast – Coolangatta/Tweed Heads Australia Sun 19th Oct – Thurs 23rd Oct

It’s been a few days since I’ve put pen to paper, but here we go:

Sunday 19th – Calm day off Coolangatta, no swell and sleepy whales, plenty about, but all in rest mode today.  One breach all trip.

Mon 20th – beautiful day, no wind and a calm sea, heaps of humpback whales travelling south, no activity from the group earlier but started pectoral fin slapping mid morning. Another pod out wide breaching.  We finally came across a calf breaching off Kingscliff, close into shore after being with around 5 pods for the morning, of which we had hardly any activity, once again just happy swimming along at around 4 knots.

Tues 21st – the seas were a bit more sloppy today, wind starting to build, this gave more activity from the whales, pectoral fin slapping, rolling over close to the boat, travelling all the way down to Salt Beach and back again as the whales decided to travel north again and we ended up off Cook Island.  Great day out.

Wed – not trip rained and too rough

Thur – awful seas no trip

This has been Carol the ‘Whale Womn’ until another day.

PS plenty of whales coming through, believe it will be a late season going through until mid November – I have never ever seen so many whales so close or in such numbers !!! and they are in such big groups with miles and miles in between the pods !!!
