During our Minke
Whale Expeditions, anything is
possible as we venture through the
Great Barrier Reef to many
dive/snorkel sites in search of
Minke Whales.
The course of each day we will be
diving/snorkelling on the Ribbon
Reefs, Coral Gardens and Pinnacles,
and when the whales are encountered
the dives will be replaced with
snorkelling with Whales. During the
trip you will most likely see from
20 to 70 Minke Whales, and we still
are able to average 16-18 Dives at
our Ribbon Reef dive sites.
Day 1 -
Arrive at No 3 or No 5 Ribbon Reef.
Over the course of the day you might
venture to Traceys, Steves Bommie,
Temple of Doom, Clam Beds or Provona.
Day 2 -
Undersea Explorer will
venture to the Lower No 10 Ribbon
Reef area including Pixie Wall,
Pixie Gardens, Pixie Pinnacle,
Challenger Bay and Lighthouse.
Day 3 - Due to the flexibility of this
trip, we may stay in the same area
as yesterday, depending on the
previous days experiences, and going
to some of the dive sites that were
missed. Alternatively, venture North
to Eagle Rock, Cod Hole or No Name
reef.
Day 4 -
Diving and drifting in the northern
waters with the whales between the
Cod Hole and Day Reef, with a
possible visit to Lizard Island.
Day 5 -
Go to areas that are producing the
most whale sightings between the Cod
Hole and No 3 Ribbon Reef
Day 6 -
Steam to Agincourt Reefs and
dive/snorkel sites such as Nursery
Bommie, Eureka, Castles or the
G-Spot.
Dives are selected to suit the
weather and seasonal marine
highlights. The itinerary is
flexible and may be adjusted. Travel
insurance is recommended. |
