How good are long weekends!? This Labour Day long

How good are long weekends!? This Labour Day long weekend we had it all – cruisy cows with calves, inquisitive adults, even a handful of jolly jumpers – all in the comfort of our shorts and T-shirts thanks to the epic summery conditions! So, here are a few of our favourite shots from our three days at sea…

Looks like the whales were ready to start their long weekend a little early today – because they were beautifully relaxed for us, all day long. On both trips we had multiple pods of mum and calves, all cruising along in calm conditions, although our last whales for the day came in very close to say hi a few times! The weekend’s weather forecast looks divine and we’re expecting many more mums and calves to pass by Sydney – so why not join us on an adventure?

Today we spent some time with a fantastic mum and calf pair off Diamond Bay, who were cruising along in calm seas under bright blue skies. We also popped in to see the seals and some common dolphins made a quick cameo, too. Not a bad Thursday at all 💙👍🏽

If we had to give today’s whales a score out of 10, we’d have to give them at least 42! We found our happy trio of Mum Calf and Escort not far off North Head, who were cruising along until the calf suddenly broke the surface with one of the craziest jumps we’ve ever seen! Pretty soon the mum and escort showed us some splashy moves of their own …. And then, without any real warning, more whales appeared and suddenly we were watching a pod of at least 5 whales socialising and possibly getting into a little argy bargy, with some head-lunges and even a double breach (which, unfortunately, didn’t fit into our photographer’s frame). An all-round epic Tuesday – and one we won’t forget anytime soon!

Looks like we’re not the only ones excited about the school holidays! On this morning’s adventure we saw several different pods of humpbacks off North Head, but we spent most of our time with a friendly trio of Mum, Calf and Escort. They gave all aboard Bubbles some beautiful close encounters and one VERY epic (and unexpected) jump by the gigantic escort. We rounded off the trip with a visit to see the seals and some friendly bottlenose dolphins also popped over to say g’day. The perfect start to the school holidays, indeedy!

Sunday Funday! This morning we saw a couple of different pods of mums and calves, all cruising along the Northern Beaches in smooth, calm conditions. Then on our lunchtime trip we found another couple of mum-and-calf pairs, only by that time the southerly had well and truly kicked in – and the calves were ready to play! One particular young funster gave us some fantastic inflight entertainment right between Sydney Heads, then afterwards, we found another calf scoring some frequent flyer points off Manly. We lost count of how many splashes we saw this afternoon, but one thing we can all agree on is that calves are just amazing to watch – and lucky for us, plenty more of them are on their way!

Happy Saturday! Our beautifully sunny (and super w

Happy Saturday! Our beautifully sunny (and super windy) day with the whales kicked off with a fantastic mum and calf pair between South Head and Diamond Bay – they spent a lot of time on the surface and treated us to some friendly close encounters. At lunchtime we ventured to Narrabeen to catch up with another cow and calf pair – they also spent plenty of time on the surface and Mum had beautiful white flanks that made her easy to spot in the gusty conditions. A great day out indeedy!

Wonderfully windy conditions can often mean wonder

Wonderfully windy conditions can often mean wonderfully bouncy whales – and today we had the perfect mix of both off the Northern Beaches! On this morning’s adventure we saw at least three pods of mums with calves as well as a couple of solo adults getting splashy in the gusty northerly winds. Lovely to see so many whales around, and many more are on their way – woohooo!

Woohoo! It looks like 2020’s calves are well and truly here! On today’s adventure we saw another mum and calf humpback pair, with Bub’s bouncy antics revealing their position off Collaroy. The splashy action continued as we approached, but soon enough the calf had worn itself out and it relaxed back into travel mode. Cuteness overload!

We’ll be seeing more and more of these mum-calf pairs as we head towards October, so join us for an adventure! Book your spot direct at www.gowhalewatchingsydney.com.au or give us a bell on (02) 6495 1686.

Plenty of whales around this morning, with multiple pods spotted off North Head, including a big one of 5 following closely behind a pod of 3. They showed us some excellent tail moves and at one point they came right up behind us for a closer look! We also enjoyed the antics of some friendly common dolphins who rode the bow and gave us some excellent close glimpses. All in all, a spectacular Tuesday all round!

Our Sunday on the Humpback Highway was a little bit bumpy – not that the whales minded! Here’s our favourite pic from today - it was on the morning trip, near Long Reef. Head to our Facebook page for more pics from today (and be sure to follow us there too to catch all the action). Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!

WOWEEEE! Talk about a Happy Friyaay! This morning’s adventure started off quietly enough, with a pair of adults meandering south, not far out from Sydney Heads. Then, suddenly, one of them decided it was time for a solo show: it opened its performance with an epic tail throw and then got a little slap-happy with its pec fins – all winding up for a jaw-dropping one-hour display of countless breaches and splashes between Diamond Bay and North Bondi. What better way to welcome the weekend?
