Having a 'whale' of a time

Our whale watching tour departed Hillarys Boat Harbour, our cruise spotted a mum and calf humpback being escorted by a large male humpback heading closer to the Humpback Highway. The pod of whales were surface swimming a long the boat. The calf breached around 8 times in front of our passengers putting on a show! The pod of whales continuously tail slapping with the calf occasionally pec slapping. It was a great day out for all Whale Watching Perth passengers as they say all the key actions of the humpback whale.
