July 11th, 2011The Humpback Whales
Great Adventures Outer Reef cruise passengers were delighted to spot a playful humpback frolicking between Moore Reef and Green Island at about 4.00pm on Saturday. Great Adventures, Reef King, first sighted the whale which was approximately 6m in length, and the Ship’s Master stopped the vessel. The whale then swam towards the vessel, breeching and playing in the spotlight for 20 minutes.
Michael Healy, Group Director Sales and Marketing said “It is always an amazing sight and the passengers just delight in being part of this wonder of the ocean world. All our vessels have been sighting whales in the last few days and they seem to be arriving in large numbers. We are also keeping our eyes open for Migaloo who we sighted off Port Douglas last year on the 21st July.”
