2027 Minke Whale Sojourn
BOOKINGS FOR JULY OPEN
Enjoy a trip north to
the Ribbon Reefs for the
Minke Whale migration.
Join us during the migration of the Dwarf Minke Whales.
Only discovered in the 1980s, they are the only whale known to initiate human interactions.
They are incredibly curious and in water encounters can last for hours. When we are not swimming alongside these amazing creatures we dive and snorkel the beautiful reefs.
