››MoreEvery year, on the fourth Sunday of September, World Rivers Day is celebrated around the globe. The day aims to highlight the importance of rivers to life on Earth. Rivers provide freshwater and habitat, support incredible biodiversity, and hold immense ecological, economic, and cultural value.
››MoreDO WE LOVE ALL WHALES, OR DO WE HAVE FAVOURITES? Obviously, yes and yes! Each humpback whale has a unique pattern on its fluke, which allows us to recognize them individually. As we see whales come and go around the bay throughout the season, it’s impossible for guides not to have a favourite — a whale with a beautiful pattern, a special behaviour, or a crazy encounter that stays with us.
