We packed up this morning, parked the car and trailer and excitedly boarded our boat, hoping to view some whales up close. We have seen dozens of whales out at sea, but really wanted to get a bit closer...and we weren't disappointed.
Our boat took us out beyond the reef where we saw two whales with calves, cautiously swimming nearby. It was just breathtaking to see these huge graceful animals ip close. Two of them passed right by the boat, and we were amazed at just how big they really are...huge dark shadow longer than the large boat we were in!
Just as we we heading in we were lucky to see a huge humpback whale slapping it's dorsal fin, an amazing sight.
We also saw a couple of gorgeous turtles...they are very funny, lifting their heads right up out of the water...then racing off in fright!
A massive ray swam by us too...it must have been over two metres wide!
What a magic day, an experience we will never forget.
We headed towards Shark Bay and Monkey Mia later that same day.
