Whale season has officially started, with Big Fury Whitsundays taking the first footage of the year; their video showing a whale breech to the delighted squeals of guests on board.
Operations Manager of Big Fury, Dianne Flood says the two humpback whales were floating around for about half an hour which excited all the guests on board.
“It’s always fantastic to see the migration every winter,” she said.
“It’s a spectacular experience for the tourists.
“In this case, most on board were European tourists and this ticked off a few bucket list items for them.”
“They were awestruck and so were my crew, who see the whales every year.
“They were big and beautiful and playful.”
Humpback whales migrate to the Whitsunday every winter, from June to about September, for the warmer water temperatures.
An estimated 20,000 whales make the migration and many more sightings are expected this season.
