July has been an exhilarating month for whale watching in Moreton Bay. Guests aboard Eye Spy have been delighted with sightings of 20 to 30 whales each day, creating unforgettable experiences for all.

We are particularly excited to report we have just seen our third calf of the season! As the north and south migrations start to overlap, we anticipate seeing even more calves in the coming weeks.

The recent school holidays made this past month even more special. It was wonderful to welcome so many young families on board and share the magic of whale watching with children.

Seeing the excitement and awe on their faces as they witnessed these magnificent creatures was truly heartwarming. The joy and curiosity of our youngest passengers remind us why we are so passionate about what we do.

The overlap of the north and south migrations offers a unique opportunity to witness the nurturing behaviour of mother with their young in the warm, protected waters of Moreton Bay. The whales' journey from Antarctica to Queensland is a spectacular migration, and the July / August cross over period offers some of the best viewing of these magnificent creatures.

We look forward to welcoming you on board, where the beauty of Moreton Bay’s marine life continues to inspire and educate.
