Our first Humpback Calf of 2010

the perfect way to spend a birthday by all accounts. The weather was stunning with a light south easterly breeze and a great bunch of people on the boat.

As we were just starting our tour in the morning, I noticed a small splash about 600m away, keeping our eyes peeled we were amazed to see a calf breaching. As we pulled a little closer to look at them, the mother and calf started to head our way, they were very relaxed and all of our swimmers had some amazing encounters.

I drove the boat in order to let our staff Issy and Sione, lead the guests into the water for a guided snorkel.


Here are the dorsal fin shots from both mother and calf, as well as the group that went out with us. I believe the Luck of the Irish was once again on our side.
