Thar she BLOWS!

July 04, 2024/ Joel Hirsch

Yesterday was an incredible day out on the water - beautiful winter day, sun shining and Whales galore. We operated 3x tours out in the water for Wednesday 3rd July and managed to spot 6x individual Whales throughout the day.

1x Southern Right Whale
5x Humpback Whales

Passengers & Crew were stoked to get an amazing acrobatic display from the whales seen onboard & we are anticipating a great season ahead.

While still very early in the season! We are still eagerly awaiting ‘Southern Right Whales’ to arrive & establish a regular routine in Encounter Bay! Sightings so far are still quite sporadic…

The Big Duck respect & honour the ancestors & people of the Ramindjeri lakinyeri (clan) of the Ngarrindjeri Nation; on the Yarluwar-Ruwe (lands & waters) in which we operate our tours. We actively collaborate, share, preserve culture & protect ngaitji (totems).

We acknowledge the Ramindjeri & Kaurna people as the Traditional Custodians of the Yarluwar (waters) on which we meet & operate our tours. We pay deep respect to the past/present Elders & to all Aboriginal peoples.
