We're thrilled with the amazing weather we're experiencing right now! A big thank you to everyone who joined our tours over the weekend.

Here's your whale update for the week: Sightings have become a bit trickier as Shamrock and her calf, Paddy, prepare for their long journey back to Antarctica. Shamrock needs to move up and down the coast to help strengthen Paddy’s swimming abilities, which unfortunately makes it challenging for us to locate them during our tours.

We’re still offering Southern Ocean Adventure cruises, where we do our absolute best to show you the majestic Southern right whales. However, please remember that these are wild animals, and we can't control their day-to-day whereabouts.

Sightings over the week:

6/8/24 - Shamrock & Paddy at Frenchman rocks

7/8/24 - Shamrock & Paddy at Bashams beach

8/8/24 - shamrock & Paddy at Watson Gap, and 2x Humpback whales at Flat iron rock

10/8/24 - Shamrock & Paddy at Middleton (2pm cruise)

11/8/24 - No sightings

12/8/24 - No sightings

Keep and eye out on SA whale centre log for more sighting updates!
