The Great Barrier Reef is
the world’s largest coral reef made up of living organisms and is so huge it’s
visible from outer space! A World Heritage Site, it is an ideal spot for a
vacation. But wait! It is the only place in the world where you can enjoy live
encounters with the Minke and Humpback whales. With a vast ocean, Great Barrier
Reef becomes home to these mighty mammals from the months of June to November
and is the reason why you need to plan a Great Barrier Reef vacation soon!
Now imagine a friendly
encounter with the whales – majestic, isn’t it? It is truly an otherworldly
experience. While you’re in your vessel and they glide past you, it feels like
you’ve seen everything in the world.
The Minkes are baleen
whales almost eight metres long and are six-tonnes heavy while the Humpback
whales are twelve to sixteen metres in length and can weigh around 25-30 metric
tonnes. It is during their annual migration period that they’re found at the
reef and Sunset Safaris through their Great Barrier Reef
Tour Packages brings you closer
to them.
While you make your way
towards them, they’ll also start investigating your luxurious vessel.
Investigators four-times your size! This shows how curious these majestic
creatures are! Fun, isn’t it? Interacting with these mighty creatures is like a
privilege and that’s what the Great Barrier Reef holidays can bestow you with.
The dwarf Minke whales
are acrobatic and you might be able to enjoy their head-rise if you’re lucky!
Whales raise their snouts above the water surface and sometimes even do a
lateral roll and display their bellies! That’s quite a sight! The Great Barrier
Reef tours from the Sunset Safaris will take you to the exact spots where
whales will become your next best friend!
Encountering these
not-so-little mammals is a great experience and will go a long way in
understanding their nature. You will be so close to them you’ll realize how
beautiful nature has been. For the exclusive encounters, you can go snorkelling
and scuba-diving as well. You can get into the waters to see the marine
wildlife up so close.
Imagine a mammal four
times your size within a few metres distance, doesn’t it sound like a
life-changing experience? So, what are you thinking? Go for the Great Barrier Reef
Holidays Packages because it is the
only place in the world where you can befriend whales. And a vacation like this
will certainly be one of the ultimate Australian adventure tours.
