Daily Snaps.

Low tide at Geyser Rock.

We had lots of seals enjoying a nap on the Prince Port.

Look how snuggly!

Slowly travelling along.

Look at the blow!

We got lucky to have a tail coming up right next to the boat.

This was a competitive pod, so we also had some rolling around.

Can you see the silhouette of the Great White shark? Sharks often come to the bottom of our vessel to have a look around!

This was a juvenile Great White shark, and through the clear water we were given amazing views.

On the second tour, we had a really active Great White shark about.

Two Southern Right whales travelling along, we believed them to be two single adults.

Southern Right whales have a very distinct V-shaped blow.

These whales were super relaxed, travelling along next to us.

Here, you can make out the v-shape.

When we caught up with the whales, we were heading into deeper water.

A bit of tail on the other whales head.

Capturing memories, but looking with the eyes first.

A seal having a shake.

Look at that surf.

One of the larger whale species to visit area and with their distinctive body shape, humpback whales are a special favourite of Dyer Island Cruises guests and crew alike.

With a local population of 60,000, it's no wonder our guests capture so many photographs of these wonderfully playful marine mammals.
