![]() ![]() Will definitely be back for the Orca's! Merry Christmas in advance to you, your family and Whale Watch. In particular, thank you very much for the experience Leanne, it was extremely nice chatting with you and giving us an informative session. One suggestion I have is perhaps your top boat handrails could be wiped down as some felt sticky to touch and hold. Two competitors continuously followed us during the experience as the mother and calf whale stayed near us and gave a wonderful sight to see. Running their business for years, you can see they establish a genuine and quality relationships with the dolphins and whales. They made it obvious how they differentiate themselves and take pride in being a local and family run business. I can say for certain that Whale Watch WA has provided remarkable service.įrom the start to finish, every staff member ensured patrons are comfortable and enjoying their experience. Many times experiencing impressive service but not to the point where I leave a Google Review. I am typically meticulous when it comes to customer service/experience, given its a passion that has developed over my career. A rather special Saturday with whales and water spouts on the Humpback Highway. This water spout stretched all the way into the southern ocean and created a truly dramatic and beautiful scene. Usually not sighted this far south, these water spouts generally form over warm water. A beautiful and enormous water spout was forming and we turned around to have a better look at this rare and unusual phenomenon. It was exciting and kept us on our toes as the continued surface activity flowed amongst the pods and as the Albatross and Crested Terns began to successfully feed on schools of baitfish we looked skywards. A huge double breach from an escort pod kickstarted the Language of the Whales as each pod continued to communicate back and forth with a breach to our right, tail lob to the left and pec slapping further behind us. Five seperate pods were on the move and as they all began to converge towards the same area we could feel the energy increase. ![]() ![]() The afternoon was peaceful and clouds gently surrounded the sighting grounds as sunshine peaked through and blows were sighted just ahead. They continued to socialise together as one individual breached again just off our bow and left much white water behind as the fun continued. All five whales then proceeded to chase after each other underneath and around us and the playful energy of the dolphins appeared to have rubbed off on the Humpbacks. Breaching just to our starboard began as one of the cheeky Humpbacks began to communicate with the others and all pods began to converge together as repeated breaching and tail lobs continued. Dolphins and this juvenile Humpback twisted and turned playfully as another pod began to move in on the activity. Later on in the morning we met up with another young whale who had found the local Bottlenose Dolphins and was having a marvellous time. A little bit cautious which is understandable for such a young whale, this yearling would tail lob every now and again as he gets used to making decisions of his own for the first time since separating from mum. Our morning was beautiful blue skies and sunshine as tail lobbing first indicated some activity in the area and we smiled to see a yearling surface. Whales and water spouts on a special day in Augusta as both incredible sights created special memories. ![]()
