Marine Wildlife

Imagine the splash of a blue whale’s tale, so close to your boat you can feel the spray. Or a humpback explosively exhaling next to a gigantic cobalt-blue iceberg. These vast animals, the size of five double decker buses or more, are kings of the underwater food chain, yet seven out of 13 great whale species are endangered.

Whales, be they Humpbacks, Blues, Orcas, Minkes or Fins can be seen in diverse environments, from the icy waters of the Arctic Ocean and bays of Antarctica to the tropical waters off Sri Lanka. Streamlined, intelligent and fascinating, these underwater monoliths have an enduring appeal that has sparked legends and stories for centuries.
