When Elding went to WhaleFest in 2011 we were introduced to John Rumney
that has been running swim with minke whale trips
for 18 years and pioneered the swim with Minke Whale experience in Queensland
(www.marineencounters.com.au). Once watching the presentation we were hooked
and planned our excursion over a year in advance to guarantee a
place. Once the time came and we were onboard the Undersea Explorer
we found that we had picked a time when the weather was not at it's best,
experiencing 30-40 knots each day but the Minke Whales seemed to love it as we
were seeing them every day and even got in the water with them 3 of those days.
In the end we saw 18-19 Minke Whales and 10 hours of interaction both in and out
of the water. This is what I have to show for it...
