The Orcas didn&#8217;t seem to mind though&#8230; They were relaxed and moving in a search formation, spread out and coordinated as they took big sweeping passes across the hotspot. We, as a consequence drove round circles, we had them, then they disappeared in a splash, evading us for a short while. Perfect time for us to have lunch and some chats. Silvery deep blue tones and big rolling southern ocean swell all around.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">And as we waited and watched. We saw a very very special and quite dashing Alby. It was a Wandering Albatross specifically exulans with it&#8217;s monster wingspan and sassy demeanour. Youngsters can spend 5-10 years at sea before returning to their natal island to breed.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Once the orcas were back on, a large single male cruised through, totally solo. Not a sight we see often (as the family group is usually close by). A cute and playful pod of mother and calf long finned pilot whales graced us with their presence. And a final farewell of a beautiful big Orca pod cruised past and put huge grins on all of our faces.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":13046,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":""},"categories":[80],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13164","daily_blogs","type-daily_blogs","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-whale-watching-blog"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.5 (Yoast SEO v28.7) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>ICE COOL - Naturaliste Charters<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Once the orcas were back on, a large single male cruised through, totally solo.
