WATCHING THE HUMPBACKS FEED
After a long time of sailing without luck (on the 13:15 tour) people might have started losing hope, but in that very moment we spotted the two blows together and forgot the cold wind...
When getting closer it came to light those were two feeding humpbacks, surrounded by sea birds snatching their share of the food which leaked out between the humpbacks' baleens.
We landed in the middle of a feeding area and stayed there still, having two undisturbed giant whales surfacing side by side, every 30th second. Sometimes on starboard side, sometimes behind us or at 11 o'clock – but always close. Two humpbacks and birds rushing to the spot where they came up to take another breath.
It was great! People “complained” saying the whales were too close for their (big) camera lenses. One guy said “Wow – this makes up for all the kangaroos I didn't see in Australia”.
So if you didn't see any giant pandas in China, tigers in India or armadillos in Texas – go whale watching with Gentle Giants! Your chances of seeing whales with us are about 98%.
