Mother-Calf action aplenty!

The last week or so has seen an increasing number of mothers and calves coming through. This makes for excellent shore-based whale watching. I cycled some of the Narooma-Dalmeny cycleway keeping up easily with one pair including a very agile calf. Then to cap it off I was the guide on a Montague Island Evening Tour which had a mother and calf that were both so energetic it makes one wonder how they cold make it down to Antarctica at this rate! Breaches, jumps, tail slaps and many of these were almost synchronised between the two!

Fantastic whale watching with Island Charters Narooma

Fourteen whales entertained us between Narooma bar and Montague Island this morning. They were all juveniles and most of the time were busy filling their cavernous mouths. We were treated to some tail flapping and a couple of great breeches fairly close to the boat. But when they came right over to us they were mainly just feeding.  120 dolphins swam with the boat on the way back into Narooma some people wound up quite wet standing at the front of the bow watching but were also quite exhilarated.  A group of locals who had never been out before couldn’t believe it had taken them so long to get around to going out.

Next scheduled departure is 9.30am Thursday 7 October (subject to minimum numbers and weather conditions).  Call 0408 428 857 to book your seat!  www.islandchartersnarooma.com.au.

Glassy Oceans

Region X cruised out of Mossy Point this morning with a full crew of sea kayakers. Fishermen had reported up to 100 whales out around 5 miles off Burrewarra Point on sunday, the best day they had ever seen, a few reported they forgot they were supposed to be fishing!

alas today the whales were still out in deep water, too far offshore for our group to reach, instead we had dolphins, yummy cake, brewed coffee and crystal clear waters as we explored the secluded beaches and bay of the Burrewarra

Point Sanctuary zones. Magical Morning on the water regardless.

Whales out wide

Todays RegionX Sea Kayak Whale watching tour had to be content with dolphins and loads of diving gannets, we did manage to see distant whales on the horizon when we floated around Burrewarra Pt Lighthouse.

The Slot at Burrewarra Point

Although no close encounters we were treated to great coffee, cake, cliff ledge paddling and glassy oceans! Kayak hire has been popular lately with lots of sightings of large Rays in the clear waters of the Tomaga River.
