Mum and Calf Breach

Our Whale Watching cruise departed our Fremantle port - The Sardine Jetty Fremantle Fishing Boat Harbour, with sunny conditions. Whale Watching Perth cruised on the Indian Ocean following a mum and calf humpback whale. It was an outstanding whale watching cruise following the mum and calf pod along the Humpback Highway. Mum whale breached once and the calf breaching over 30 times, both mum and calf approached our whale watching vessel swimming about 15m to the vessel with our passengers able to see these majestic mammals up close, the calf whale breaching while they were this close to our vessel! It was a memorable experience for our passengers.
