Because it’s Mother’s Day today... a few photos of mumma and baby Seal (arctocephalus forsteri) 💙

We had to pull our boat out of the water today, since it doesn’t look like we’ll be allowed to run tours for a while. But we headed out one last time and saw our first Humpback Whale of the season! 💙🐋 We watched it lunge feed surrounded by playful seals and lots of seabirds. The whales will be heading North over the next few month to their breeding grounds in warmer waters. >>Have you seen any whales around yet?<<

Something special happened for us on our last day on the water. 💙 There were lots of bait fish about that attracted dolphins, seals and sea birds to prey on them. Several bait balls formed which gave us the opportunity to capture some of the action. 🐠🐬🐧 If we are forced to have a prolonged break, then we couldn’t have asked for a better day to finish up with. Thank you Ocean! 🙏

With a heavy heart - like so many other businesses - we also had to cancel all our upcoming bookings for the season. If there is anything positive to pull from these challenging times, it is knowing that the planet is getting a good chance to breathe. Over the coming weeks we’ll be trickling out some healing Ocean content. And we’re sure, even if you can’t physically be immersed in nature, taking in some ‘Ocean therapy’ will benefit your wellbeing, as the sun will continue to shine and the waves will continue to break. ❤️ #lovetheocean

A few photos of the two Minke Whales we encountered the other day (mum & calf). The calf looked so tiny (💕) and had quite a big scar on its side..

‘When asked if I am pessimistic or optimistic about the future, my answer is always the same: if you look at the science about what is happening on earth and aren’t pessimistic, you don’t understand the data. But if you meet the people who are working to restore this earth and the lives of the poor and you aren’t optimistic, you haven’t got a pulse.’ ~Martin Keogh #protectwhatyoulove

This is the third week for us now of seeing Humpback Whales every day (out of season), often feeding together with Dolphins and Seals. These guys were pretty happy about the feast they just had. 💕🐬

HAPPY NEW YEAR - The feeding frenzies continue.. For about two weeks now, the Humpback Whales have been feeding together with seals and/or dolphins on bait fish along our stretch of coastline. Usually, we watch the last whales migrate past our coast around mid December. It’ll be interesting to see how long they are going to stay in the area for. Check out our latest blog post (link in bio) for more photos and details about the recent wildlife activity here. #giftfromtheocean #wildoceantasmania
