AMAZING Whale Watching Moments in Forster, Australia

Filming this adventure for Destination Barrington Coast was actually my first ever time whale watching and wow did these whales put on a show! And before you ask, this whole film was shot in 1 whale watching tour! As an ocean baby, I’ve seen countless whales while surfing, on scuba diving boats and on headland walks, yet I’ve never actually been whale watching. Part of me didn’t really know what to expect, was seeing a whale while whale watching that much better than seeing a whale on a headland or in the distance on a dive boat? I honestly wasn’t sure. But having come out the other side I now am fully aware of what I’ve been missing out on. It’s way, way better than anything I previously imagined. Seeing our first whale was pretty incredible, but this was only the beginning. No longer than 20 minutes after we left the pier we’d already spotted our first pod of whales playfully slapping their pectoral fins and tails on the surface. As we slowly approached our skipper Matt disengaged the engine, and we sat and watched as this pod of 4 Humpback Whales that were no more than 40 meters away from us continued to play, tail slap, roll onto their bellies, and even ‘spy hop’ and vocalise their excitement. Humpback Whales are known for their curiosity, and as this playful display continued the whales slowly gravitated towards the boat, continuing to play and poke their heads above the water in an attempt to check us out. What eventuated was a breathtaking display with members of the whale pod breaching only meters away on the port side of the boat, with the remaining whales on the starboard side continuing to playfully slap the water with their white bellies on full display. This continued for the duration of the tour, before we returned to port with a pod of dolphins bow riding on the front of the boat. I’m converted, whale watching at least out of Forster is epic!
