Gold Coast 2011-Day 2 之 Whale Watching

After getting off the ferry, we soon found ourselves back up on the same ferry.. This time it was for whale-watching.. The waves these time were abit stronger then it was earlier on.. I was kinda surprised that whale watching actually proceeded even with such a weather.. The whole journey lasted around 3 hours..

After seeing the whales, no matter how long the ferry journey took, it’s all worth it.. But we had to be fast to spot the whales, they only come up to the surface for a few seconds before disappearing into the water again for 3-5 mins.. And the choppy sea made it even harder to spot them.. Our group managed to spot 15 whales.

We were also kinda lucky as we also spotted a baby calf, about a few weeks old.. According to the staffs, it was also the first time they saw one. The baby calf was soo cute.. When we spotted it, I guess it was learning how to swim/bridge.. And it kept showing us how he was learning to do it, and he and his mummy whale slowly came close to us and started swimming around our vessel.. FYI, bridge refers to the action where they dive into the sea and their tail gets “stretched” out in the air.
