🐋 Not Today, But That’s Nature

July 23, 2025/ Joel Hirsch

Wednesday 23rd July

This morning, we received an exciting land-based report of a whale breaching off the Middleton Beach coastline. With spirits high, our crew and guests set off on the 11am Southern Ocean Adventure, venturing down the coast in search of a sighting.

Despite scanning the rolling swell and waves, no whales were spotted today.

While we don’t always find them, that’s the beauty of wildlife—it’s unpredictable, unscripted, and entirely wild. Every trip out is different, and every sighting is a special moment we don’t take for granted.

We’ll be back out again soon—eyes on the horizon!

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.
