When the biggest kid in the ocean decides to jump 🐋😂
S***m whales can breach, but it’s pretty rare. Scientists aren’t completely sure why, but it may be for communication, play, or simply showing off! Breaching may also help them get rid of parasites and remoras attached to their skin.
And when you’re a 15+ metre whale, that’s A LOT of energy! No wonder they don’t do it every day...
Amazing photos from our biologist and whale watching guide Lisa Steiner 🫶🏼

Beautiful shots from last week’s s***m whale encounter🐋✨
This behaviour is called breaching: when whales launch their bodies out of the water.
Scientists believe it may be a form of communication, parasite removal or even play. Calves may also breach to build muscle which helps them increase oxygen storage for future deep dives.
A big thank you to our biologist Lisa Steiner for the pictures and the knowledge😁

This week at sea🌊
Sei whales, s***m whales, pilot whales, common and bottlenose dolphins and some stunning Risso´s dolphins along the way
And a rare moment:
"First time in over 20 years that I've seen two turtles interacting like this!" words from our biologist🤩

Inspiring the next generation of ocean protectors🩵
A special day with the children from São Caetano. A small gesture, but a memory we hope stays with them for a long time.
