🐋 Whale Log Update – Sorry for the Delay!

We’ve been flat out with tours lately and haven't had a chance to update our Whale Log since Saturday — but rest assured, the whales haven’t taken a break, and neither have we! Thanks for your patience while we catch up on the incredible sightings from the past few days. Here’s what we’ve spotted… 👇

📅 Wednesday 13 August – The Streak Continues
The whales continue to impress! Today, we again observed a Mother and Calf pair off Middleton, gently loafing just behind the breakers in what’s clearly become a reliable nursery area for these majestic mammals.

📅 Tuesday 12 August – Eagle Eyes at Miami Cliffs
Acting on more land-based reports, we scanned the waters off Miami Cliffs and Middleton, where an eagle-eyed passenger spotted a distant blow around 2km offshore. Sure enough, it was another Mother and Calf, offering yet another memorable encounter.

📅 Monday 11 August – Middleton Magic
Two Mother and Calf pairs were seen cruising the waters off Middleton Beach, adding to an already incredible season of sightings.

📅 Sunday 10 August – Double Tour, Double Whales!
Both our 11am and 2pm Southern Ocean Adventure Tours encountered whales — 7 individuals spotted in total. Guided by land-based sightings, we headed east along the coast and were thrilled when a Mother and Calf surfaced just 150m from the boat. We slowed and carefully reversed back to our permitted 300m distance and quietly observed the pair — a breathtaking encounter for all onboard.

📅 Saturday 9 August – Surprise Sighting in the Coorong!
Guests aboard our sister company Spirit of the Coorong were treated to an unforgettable moment — a Southern Right Whale mother and calf sighting on the wild and windswept 90-Mile Beach. Our Coorong Wetland Tours include a short walk through the National Park to the Southern Ocean, and on this particular day, the whales were waiting for us!
