🐋 Middleton Remains a Favourite!

It seems Middleton remains a popular spot for our southern right whale pairs!

Today, we were thrilled to spot both southern right whale cow-and-calf pairs across both Southern Ocean Adventure departures.

The calves are now reaching an age where they’re becoming increasingly energetic, and they certainly kept us entertained. While mum casually loafed about in the water, the calves were busy splashing and even breaching — putting on quite the show for everyone on board!

It’s always special to see these young whales becoming more confident and playful as they grow. 🐋
