The 2007 Whale Season has unfortunately come to an end......
BUT WHAT ANOTHER GREAT SEASON IT WAS !
This was definitely our best season yet ... and our whale numbers show it ! On the northern migration we recorded 125 sightings. This was made up of 120 humpback whales, 2 southern right whales and 3 minke whales. On the return, southern migration, we recorded and amazing 430 sightings made up of 423 humpback whales, 4 pilot whales, 1 minke whale and 2 orca whales.
Once again we were extremely happy to see a big number of return customers, but also a lot of fresh new faces who were discovering both the whales and Jervis Bay for the first time. The word is continuing to spread that Jervis Bay offers some of the best whale viewing up and down the east coast of Australia.
Again the number of mothers and calves who took refuge right inside Jervis Bay on their long trip back south seems to be increasing and they seem to be staying longer. During the months of October and November we hardly had to leave the calm waters inside Jervis Bay to see the whales. The calm waters inside the bay seems to encourage the calves to show off their playful anitcs as they grow more confident and we were treated to many displays of breaching and tail slapping.
Whilst the whales are gone for another season, we hope that you can find time to visit us over the summer and see our resident dolphins in action amongst the pristine beauty of Jervis Bay. Visit us at DOLPHIN WATCH CRUISES ihe original cruise company in Jervis Bay and come on board The Spirit of Jervis Bay. We have been taking people out to see the dolphins and the scenery in Jervis Bay since 1990. We hope that you can join us over the summer and be sure to ask us about our SUMMER TWILIGHT BBQ CRUISES...... the best way to enjoy what the Bay has to offer !

The 2007 Whale Season is here......
This year we are looking forward to an even better season that last year. We have been very busy during the summer season with our dolphin cruises and have noted that our passenger numbers were up yet again from 2006. We continue to see more people coming from further afield to witness the beauty that is Jervis Bay. And what better reason do you need to come down than to watch the migrating humbpack whales.
We look forward to seeing you on board 'The Spirit of Jervis Bay' in 2007.
Our spotters have already sighted a number of whales so far this season, both inside and outside Jervis Bay. We will commence our official whale watching season with our first cruise on Saturday 26th May.
)
The 2006 Whale Season has come to an end......
AND WHAT A GREAT SEASON IT WAS !
We think it was our best season to date ! The most satisfying aspect of the season, for us here at JERVIS BAY WHALES, was the number of repeat visitors that we had this year. The word is spreading that Jervis Bay offers some of the best whale viewing up and down the east coast of Australia. We were amazed at the increased number of mothers and calves who took refuge right inside Jervis Bay on their long trip back south. We were lucky enough to witness some of the playful antics as both the calves, and the fully grown adults, lunged into the air, breaching multiple times, as if they knew they were putting on a show for us.
Whilst the whales are gone for another season, we hope that you can find time to visit us over the summer and see our resident dolphins in action amongst the pristing beauty of Jervis Bay. Visit us at DOLPHIN WATCH CRUISES ithe original cruise company in Jervis Bay. We have been taking people out to see the dolphins and the scenery in Jervis Bay since 1990. We hope that you can join us over the summer and be sure to ask us about our SUMMER TWILIGHT BBQ CRUISES...... the best way to enjoy what the Bay has to offer !
