From dramatic weather shifts to tender calf moments, the Bremer Canyon kept us guessing each day. No two trips were alike\u2014and that\u2019s the magic of this place.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"507\" data-end=\"786\">Across the week, we witnessed feeding frenzies, close passes from familiar orcas like Digby and Nibbles, and the stunning arrival of a brand-new calf. From sperm whales to albatrosses, and even a hammerhead shark, the Southern Ocean revealed its rich and unpredictable character. These highlights offer just a glimpse into the natural wonders unfolding offshore\u2014and every day left us wanting more.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"\" data-start=\"171\" data-end=\"212\"><strong data-start=\"175\" data-end=\"212\">March 11 \u2013 Humble Wild Highlights<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"214\" data-end=\"518\">Today reminded us we have no control over when or how the orca will appear in Bremer Canyon. We set off across the continental shelf in clear conditions, hopeful and excited to meet our regular visitors at the hotspot. But the ocean was quiet, offering only a few vacant bird swirls and no signs of life.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"520\" data-end=\"818\">With little action at the hotspot, we turned east then pushed west into a deep area called \u2018Shreks\u2019, named after its shape. We searched with patience, scanning every ripple and swirl for any hint of movement. As time passed, we circled back toward the hotspot, still unsure what the day might hold.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"820\" data-end=\"1139\">Near the southern end of the hotspot, a slick shimmered on the surface, surrounded by shearwaters riding the breeze. Just after 2:30pm, the call came\u2014blows ahead! Everyone jumped up, recharged with excitement and ready to move. Then suddenly, behind us in the wake, a passenger spotted something rising from the depths.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1141\" data-end=\"1403\">It was Digby, a large male, alone but playful. He surfaced beside the boat, rolled beneath us three times, then drifted away. Moments later, three more orca appeared. We recognised Slug and Dundette as they cruised beside the bow before vanishing into the glare.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1405\" data-end=\"1671\">They grew hard to follow as the light danced across the water. Each time we approached, they slipped beneath again. Today\u2019s brief highlights reminded us this is their world, and every moment with them is on their terms. It\u2019s never guaranteed, but always a privilege.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1405\" data-end=\"1671\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-39862 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/naturalistecharters.dilatevps1.cloudsites.net.au\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/11-mar-1024x669.jpg\" alt=\"March 11 2025 Killer Whale Highlights\" width=\"1024\" height=\"669\" srcset=\"https:\/\/naturalistecharters.dilatevps1.cloudsites.net.au\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/11-mar-980x640.jpg 980w, https:\/\/naturalistecharters.dilatevps1.cloudsites.net.au\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/11-mar-480x313.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"\" data-start=\"158\" data-end=\"206\"><strong data-start=\"162\" data-end=\"206\">March 13 \u2013 Orca &amp; Sperm Whale Highlights<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"208\" data-end=\"510\">The day began with an exciting surprise\u2014over 50 bottlenose dolphins greeted us as we left the harbour. They swam directly toward the boat, bow-riding with ease. Among them, tiny calves showed their foetal folds, a sign of recent birth. After a few joyful minutes, they peeled away, letting us continue.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"512\" data-end=\"752\">At the hotspot, the sea was calm and the sun was shining, but orcas were nowhere in sight. With only a few scattered shearwaters overhead, we turned southeast. Not long after, a splash broke the surface\u2014two orcas appeared, charging forward.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"754\" data-end=\"979\">It was Akama and her young calf Wren, bursting into view beside our boat. They surfaced together near the bow before slipping below again. A nearby sunfish caught our attention next, flapping its fin gently above the surface.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"981\" data-end=\"1205\">Soon, two more orcas arrived, unrelated to Akama\u2019s group. They led us even farther south, diving deep and covering huge distances between breaths. We found ourselves 34 nautical miles offshore\u2014closer to Antarctica than home.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1207\" data-end=\"1467\">As we returned north, a tall dorsal fin broke the surface\u2014Akama\u2019s pod was reunited. Wren, Akama, Nibbles, and matriarch Fanscar all swam together, putting on a show. Nibbles cruised beside us, rising slowly to show off his bulk while Wren popped up beside him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1469\" data-end=\"1745\">Their close contact was heartwarming\u2014rubbing, rolling, and swimming side by side. Fanscar glided near the boat, with Nibbles flashing his white belly as he rolled underneath her. The family seemed relaxed and sociable, offering one of the most touching highlights of the week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1747\" data-end=\"1985\">Just when we thought the day was done, Crossy spotted large, distant blows. As we approached, we realised we were among over 40 sperm whales. Their bushy exhalations rose all around us, framed by storm petrels dancing above the still sea.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1987\" data-end=\"2152\">As we cruised through the pod, the whales were calm and unbothered. Two lifted their flukes high and disappeared into the deep, a perfect ending to a remarkable day.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1987\" data-end=\"2152\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-39863 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/naturalistecharters.dilatevps1.cloudsites.net.au\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/12-mar-1024x700.jpg\" alt=\"March 12 2025 Killer Whale Highlights\" width=\"1024\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/naturalistecharters.dilatevps1.cloudsites.net.au\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/12-mar-980x669.jpg 980w, https:\/\/naturalistecharters.dilatevps1.cloudsites.net.au\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/12-mar-480x328.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"\" data-start=\"189\" data-end=\"233\"><strong data-start=\"193\" data-end=\"233\">March 14 \u2013 Feeding Frenzy Highlights<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"235\" data-end=\"453\">Drizzle and grey clouds set a moody tone as we boarded Alison Maree, heading south toward the continental shelf. Spirits remained high despite the soggy start, and it wasn\u2019t long before we spotted blows at the hotspot.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"455\" data-end=\"667\">Excitement erupted as orcas surfaced on both sides of the vessel. Razor, with her distinct notched dorsal fin, was easily recognised. She was joined by Blade, Slug, Dundette, Mia, and the charismatic male, Digby.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"669\" data-end=\"860\">Another orca group surged toward our bow, diving under the boat and emerging off the stern. <a href=\"https:\/\/perthzoo.wa.gov.au\/animal\/bridled-tern\">Bridled terns<\/a> followed above, while juvenile tuna exploded from the water, fleeing the chaos below.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"862\" data-end=\"1057\">Small oil slicks on the surface hinted at active feeding. The groups stayed with us for hours, offering countless close passes. Young Wren and playful Nibbles especially enjoyed lingering nearby.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1059\" data-end=\"1295\">With the action slowing, we drifted west under a dramatic lightning show, just as another squall approached. Bird activity picked up quickly, and we spotted Indian yellow-nosed, black-browed, and two wandering albatrosses soaring above.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1297\" data-end=\"1485\">Ahead, more orca blows\u2014this time from Kwilana\u2019s group. Among them was Blackberry, a huge mature male, powering toward the hotspot. Before long, they melted into the mist and rain returned.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1487\" data-end=\"1680\">On the way home, the skies cleared again. We took a scenic detour along the cliffs, escorted by bottlenose dolphins. Glasse Island gave us a final treat\u2014Australian sea lions basking in the sun.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1682\" data-end=\"1799\">This day was packed with energetic orca activity, rare seabirds, and memorable feeding highlights in every direction.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1682\" data-end=\"1799\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-39869 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/naturalistecharters.dilatevps1.cloudsites.net.au\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/mar-14-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"March 14 2025 Killer Whale Highlights\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/naturalistecharters.dilatevps1.cloudsites.net.au\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/mar-14-980x653.jpg 980w, https:\/\/naturalistecharters.dilatevps1.cloudsites.net.au\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/mar-14-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"\" data-start=\"176\" data-end=\"228\"><strong data-start=\"180\" data-end=\"228\">March 15 \u2013 Playful Calf &amp; Feeding Highlights<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"230\" data-end=\"386\">A light drizzle welcomed us aboard Alison Maree as we cruised out into the Southern Ocean. A brief rainbow touched the sea before vanishing into grey skies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"388\" data-end=\"566\">At the hotspot, the mood was dramatic\u2014squalls rolled through as we scanned the choppy surface. A sunfish appeared first, then faded behind us as orca blows drew all eyes forward.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"568\" data-end=\"775\">Digby\u2019s tall, wobbly fin broke the surface, triple the height of nearby females. He surfaced beside Razor and her calf Blade. The group cruised past us close on the port side, their size truly awe-inspiring.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"777\" data-end=\"928\">Akama and her calf Wren were tagging along with Razor\u2019s family. These groups are often seen together\u2014possibly separate pods, maybe just tightly bonded.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"930\" data-end=\"1072\">Wren, just five weeks old, was as playful as ever. She leapt, tail-flipped, spy-hopped, and rolled unpredictably, keeping everyone captivated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1074\" data-end=\"1206\">All around, oily slicks formed\u2014signs of another feeding session. Pilchards and tuna launched into the air, fleeing the frenzy below.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1208\" data-end=\"1335\">Shearwaters dove into the slicks, claiming their share with ease. These agile birds can dive over 30 metres in pursuit of prey.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1337\" data-end=\"1473\">Albatrosses soared above, their vast wingspans slicing the wind as they glided between swells, scanning for food stirred up by the orca.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1475\" data-end=\"1655\">At one point, a flash of turquoise darted beneath the bow\u2014a belly-up orca, showing off its white underside. Dundette spy-hopped nearby, catching eyes and smiles from those onboard.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1657\" data-end=\"1785\">Akama and Wren returned, zipping toward Razor\u2019s group. Wren breached twice, earning gasps and applause with her acrobatic flair.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1787\" data-end=\"1895\">It was a day full of life, movement, and joyful highlights\u2014proof again of nature\u2019s unpredictable brilliance.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1787\" data-end=\"1895\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-39864 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/naturalistecharters.dilatevps1.cloudsites.net.au\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/15-mar-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"March 15 2025 Killer Whale Highlights\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/naturalistecharters.dilatevps1.cloudsites.net.au\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/15-mar-980x653.jpg 980w, https:\/\/naturalistecharters.dilatevps1.cloudsites.net.au\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/15-mar-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"\" data-start=\"151\" data-end=\"202\"><strong data-start=\"155\" data-end=\"202\">March 16 \u2013 New Calf and Predator Highlights<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"204\" data-end=\"396\">A crisp morning hinted at action ahead. The scent of mammal and a shimmering oily slick signalled orca were nearby. Storm petrels circled overhead, diving to snatch leftovers from the surface.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"398\" data-end=\"627\">The first dorsal fin we saw was tall and clean\u2014Nani, the only mature male in Alki\u2019s family. A tail slap echoed across the water as eight orcas burst into view. Nani passed the bow holding a chunk of meat, feeding in full display.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"629\" data-end=\"724\">Alki\u2019s group moved fast, the ocean alive with energy. But the real highlight was still to come.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"726\" data-end=\"973\">From the distance came a Canyon legend\u2014Split Tip, the wise grandmother. She arrived with several family members, their presence commanding. Then, a surprise: a tiny orange-tinged calf surfaced briefly beside her. It was no more than two weeks old.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"975\" data-end=\"1147\">The moment was fleeting. Split Tip and her calf vanished into the deep, leaving everyone speechless. It was a rare and beautiful encounter\u2014one of the week\u2019s top highlights.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1149\" data-end=\"1339\">Later, Razor\u2019s family appeared, led as always by little Wren. She travelled with Akama and playful Nibbles, vanishing together on a long dive. As we scanned the water, a lone fin approached.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1341\" data-end=\"1491\">At first, we expected another orca, but this sleek dorsal belonged to a hammerhead shark. It circled close, offering a rare look before slipping away.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1493\" data-end=\"1655\">Just when we thought the day was done, two enormous bulls arrived\u2014Chalky and Hookfin. Their towering fins sliced through the waves as they passed in silent power.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1657\" data-end=\"1790\">Nearly 40 orca sightings, two new calves, and a curious shark made this day unforgettable\u2014a true showcase of nature\u2019s raw highlights.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1657\" data-end=\"1790\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-39867 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/naturalistecharters.dilatevps1.cloudsites.net.au\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/16-mar-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"March 15 2025 Killer Whale Highlights\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/naturalistecharters.dilatevps1.cloudsites.net.au\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/16-mar-980x654.jpg 980w, https:\/\/naturalistecharters.dilatevps1.cloudsites.net.au\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/16-mar-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"\" data-start=\"171\" data-end=\"227\"><strong data-start=\"175\" data-end=\"227\">March 17 \u2013 Calf Close Passes<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"229\" data-end=\"386\">Sunlight peeked through the clouds as we boarded Alison Maree, filled with anticipation. Each day brings something completely new\u2014and today was no exception.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"388\" data-end=\"675\">Not long after arriving at the hotspot, tall dorsal fins pierced the surface. Split Tip was leading the way, instantly recognisable by her Y-shaped notch. To everyone\u2019s delight, the new calf seen only yesterday surfaced again, sticking closely beside Tarni, who we believe is its mother.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"677\" data-end=\"923\">This tiny orca is likely just days old. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whaleresearch.com\/post\/killer-whale-reproduction\">Female orcas nurse<\/a> their calves through mammary slits, activated by the calf\u2019s nuzzling. Weaning takes nearly two years. Tarni\u2019s previous calf, Ripple, was born three years ago\u2014so the timing fits perfectly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"925\" data-end=\"1149\">As they foraged, juvenile tuna skipped across the surface and oil slicks spread slowly behind the pod. Flesh-footed shearwaters circled above, joined by storm petrels, wandering and black-browed albatrosses, and even a skua.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1151\" data-end=\"1330\">The orcas surfaced briefly between long dives, working the area methodically. We watched smaller groups split off across the hotspot, creating a beautiful, fluid mosaic of motion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1332\" data-end=\"1495\">Wonks surfaced behind us, his large fin wobbling through the swell. Adeano popped up at our eleven o&#8217;clock, joined by young juveniles showing curiosity and energy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1497\" data-end=\"1683\">The swell made each surfacing more dramatic. Their heads rose completely above the waves, white eyepatches shining through the spray. Some rode the wake, others surged forward playfully.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1685\" data-end=\"1843\">Split Tip and Tarni brought the calf close to the boat, giving all aboard an incredible, up-close view. It was one of the week\u2019s most heartwarming highlights.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1845\" data-end=\"1958\">As their focus shifted to feeding, we let them be and turned for home.
