"Minke whales" Expedition
During one week, the boat cruises on the Great Barrier Reef (Ribbon Reef more precisely) looking for the whales. Even if it is forbidden to go to the whales when they are at least than 100m from you, you can let them come to you. So as soon as a whale is seen, the ship is stopped and 2 ropes are launched on the water. We just have to go into the water, attached to the rope and wait for the whale. We saw them every day and they come such close (up to 2 meters from me). I will never forget the strong feeling when they come and see me with their big eyes! The biologists and researchers on the Undersea Explorer share also their passion with us.
