And that’s a wrap.

Today was our last day for the season and we couldn’t have asked for better weather conditions.

Our vessel will be out of the water for routine maintenance work over winter.

The new season starts at the end of September, in time for the whale migration south. 💙

For any tour enquiries, you can still reach us via email or dm. 📧

Who would have thought that our tiny business @wildoceantasmania would win the @tripadvisor ‘Traveller’s Choice Award’ two years in a row?! Apparently we’re in the top 10% of attractions world wide!

A BIG thank you to all those lovely people who have joined our tours and chose to support a #smallbusiness over major tour operators. 🙏

What a great surprise at the end of our 21/22 season. 💙

The coast has been alive this weekend down here! Several species of whales have been sighted. A Southern Right Whale in Fortescue Bay, a pod of about 6 Killer Whales in Munroe Bight and around Tasman Island and a few Humpback Whales about 6km offshore on our trip today.

We still have a few seats available for the 1.30pm tour on Monday. Our online booking system is now closed, but you can still call us on 0473 770 416 or send us a dm to book. ⛵️

Just when we thought we’re at the tail end of the Humpback Whale migration, we got to spend the afternoon with about 20 really active whales. What a day!! 💙🐋

Thanks to the awesome crew we had onboard today who didn’t mind travelling a bit further in the search for whales. 🙏

Next available tours: Friday - Tuesday at 1.30pm, departing from the jetty next to the Blowhole in Eaglehawk Neck. 💙🐬 Dm to book.

We’ll be operating for another week before we close our business over winter. Our last tour is scheduled for Tuesday the 5th July. The weather is looking fantastic for the whole week, yay. ☀️ If you’d like to join one of our tours, you can book online or send us a dm. Here’s a little recap of what we’ve seen out on the water over the last few months. 💙🐳🐬

Tomorrow (Sunday the 26th June) is the Great Whale

Tomorrow (Sunday the 26th June) is the Great Whale Census Day 2022 organised by #ORRCA . If you’d like to contribute to this #citizenscience project while having a good day looking for marine life, you can download the ORRCA Marine Mammal Log Sheet on their website. Then grab your binoculars and a thermos with some hot tea, head to your local headland or favourite whale watching vantage spot and fill in the sheet if you spot a whale.

What do you think? Are you going to look for whales tomorrow?

The southern right whale is one of Tasmania’s ra

The southern right whale is one of Tasmania’s rarest mammals, and one of the largest, with adults weighing up to 80 tons. They can be seen along Tasmania’s coastline between May and November each year. Some animals will travel through Tasmanian waters to breeding aggregation off the Australian mainland, whilst a proportion will remain in Tasmania throughout the season.

Each year, we help the Marine Conservation Program monitor the species by providing ID photos of the individual whales. Unlike Humpback Whales which are identified by their flukes, Southern Right Whales are identified by the shape and arrangement of the callosities on their head and along the lower jaw. The callosities are the white/grey patches of thickened skin that you can see on this underwater photo.

Our next trip is scheduled for Saturday afternoon and we still have a few seats available. So if you’d like to get out on the water and learn more about these gentle giants, send us a dm or give us a call on 0473770416 to reserve your seat. The weather is looking great.

Today is World Albatross Day! It was launched in 2

Today is World Albatross Day! It was launched in 2020 by the ‘Agreement on the Conservation of Albatrosses and Petrels’ to dedicate 19th June every year to raise awareness of the conservation needs of albatrosses, petrels and shearwaters. Many of them are being killed as a result of fisheries operations and other human induced threats.

In Tasmania, we are fortunate to have our very own albatross species, the Shy albatross, breeding exclusively on 3 offshore islands: Albatross island in the north and Petra Branca and Mewstone in the south. The total population is estimated to be around 15000 annual breeding pairs.

Albatrosses can smell their prey from up to 20km away and we often see the Shy Albatrosses and other albatross species on our daily tours feed on bait fish and cephalopods.
