Whale Watching on Freedom III

Today we went out on Freedom III boat to watch the humpback whales.  We were fortunate enough to witness some amazing displays by the whales on our trip.  We saw plenty of tails disappearing into the water.
 
 
 

Plus a lot of fin waving/slapping and exposing their underbelly.






Occasionally the whales would pop up to have a look at us and see what was going on.





And then, what we had all been waiting for - the whale to breach the water and launch itself up.





Before crashing back down on its back.  An amazing sight, especially as some of the whales came so close to the boat we could almost touch them.  A fantastic day trip out.
