Humpback Whale in Algoa Bay

29 May 2019 By Alan Straton

The sight that all operators wait for – Humpback Whales returning to Algoa Bay. Sightings in 2018 occurred from late May 2018 – as the humpback Whales migrated up the coast towards Madagascar and Seychelles – to to early January 2019 as they cruised down the coast on their way home again. The return home is always exciting as the big males cruise down the coast – relaxed away from Mom and Baby and endlessly curious they breach, spy-hop and (sometimes) use the vessel as a scratching post. Lucky are the guests who get to see Mothers feeding Calves as they cruise through Algoa Bay on their way home.

Passionate about Port Elizabeth and definitely NOT packing for Perth. Alan's ethos is epitomised in the words of Nelson Mandela; "I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the idea of a democratic and free society. If need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die." See more articles by Alan.
