Epic season of inquisitive whales
Sometimes it is a great reminder of how lucky we are here at Legend Charters when we find ourselves getting just as excited if not sometimes more excited about the beautiful gracious whales we encounter.
The Humpback migration through Geographe Bay is simply amazing! More than 35 thousand Humpbacks are expected to pass through here during the months of September – early December. We often get asked do we need to bring binoculars, and it always provides us with great pleasure to say no, and it’s at that moment that we know that when that person steps on board Dhu Force they are going to experience a mind blowing tour!
Just recently we had three magnificent Humpbacks who would not leave us alone (much welcomed attention, don’t get me wrong!) We approached these Humpbacks at a safe distance and before we knew it these whales turned around and headed straight for us, providing some very awesome interactions. These Humpbacks were showing off their head stand skills and ever so gracefully they would twirl their tail around out of the water providing us with 360 degree views, they would then proceed to show off their gorgeous white bellies, some mighty fine tail slapping skills and circled our vessel repeatedly, was just simply amazing!
As we were close to the Busselton Jetty we joked on board about how funny it would be if these whales swam past the underwater observatory at the end of the Busselton Jetty, unbelievably enough less than a hour after the tour there were postings all over social media about a Humpback swimming past the observatory giving guests on a tour there an awesome rare glimpse at this amazing inquisitive whale underwater!
