🐋Excuse me, can we get through!

Our very lucky crew had a Southern Right whale so close to the Causeway & Screwpile Jetty on Granite Island today that we almost couldn’t start our first tour! We had to wait until the whale had moved on before taking our vessel to our boarding location to begin the first tour of the day, making for an exciting morning!

Later on, we encountered another Southern Right Whale on tour as well, out towards West Island. Both our fingers and toes are crossed for more whales in the coming months, as whale season continues to ramp up.

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.
