April Shark Sightings and Ocean Magic

Here’s your quick Shark Team ocean update, with the full sighting's breakdown available in the attached infographics.

Winter has arrived earlier than expected this year, bringing with it a quieter rhythm on the water and a special kind of magic that only this season can offer. Despite fewer sea days, the ocean certainly didn’t disappoint.

We were fortunate to witness two of the most breathtaking box jellyfish, drifting gracefully and adding a truly magical touch to our trips. Their presence alone made several outings unforgettable.

One of the standout moments of the month was the visit from the 3 humpback whales, an incredible sight that had everyone on board filled with excitement. We’re keeping our fingers crossed that the “three musketeers” make another appearance soon.

April Highlights:

• 117 Bronze Whaler shark sightings - highly active and interactive
• 3 Humpback dolphins
• 2 Box jellyfish
• 15 Stingrays

Abundant seabird activity throughout the month

Even with the early winter chill, the ocean continues to surprise and inspire us with its beauty and life.

We look forward to sharing more unforgettable moments with you in the months ahead.
