        What a wonderful time of year to be visiting Port Douglas! Visitors to our region are being thrilled with amazing encounters with these fabulous creatures.&amp;nbsp; Passengers on board Poseidon are still having daily sightings of both the Dwarf Minke Whales and the Humpback Whales. 

The Minke's are still here and visiting the boats during stationary time at the mooring sites.&amp;nbsp; Passengers are having the opportunity to jump in and swim with the Minke's, having close up, personal encounters.&amp;nbsp; The Minke's will stay around this region until the end of September.
Meanwhile, for those who don't even get into the water, the vessel is meeting up with pods of Humpback Whales on the journey to and from Agincourt Reefs.&amp;nbsp;Often stopping to watch pods of up to 5 whales at a time.&amp;nbsp; Recently a mother and calf where spotted with the umbilical cord still attached.&amp;nbsp; The whales obviously enjoy these encounters as they display playful acts of tail slapping and breaching.
We have attached some amazing photo's taken by Oak Beach Productions onboard Poseidon, of the most recent sightings over the last few days.
If you have not been to the reef, now is the time to get out there and see these animals while the weather is great with clear water and lots of marine activity.
Inspire the Experience!
From the Team at Poseidon        ]]></description>

        Just a quick note to let you know this Wednesday evening Sailaway Sunset Sailing is already sold out however we now have another scheduled sailing this FRIDAY 6th JUNE.
Poseidon and Sailaway are off to a great start early in the season. Thanks again for your continued support and spreading the word on the quality and consistency of our premium reef experiences. Poseidon with 1 of only 3 day boat permits had the highest number of Minke Whale sightings last season so it's great these amazing creatures have started to join us again. Poseidon has further increased the number of it's very experienced and professional crew creating even more possibilities for superb, world class diving at Agincourt Ribbon Reefs. Poseidon is the only outer reef vessel with it's own dedicated dive tender in addition to the rescue tender, perfect for the experienced adventure certified diver, necessary to explore more drift and wall dives.&amp;nbsp; Well travelled Snorkellers of all experience continue to give rave reviews of the personal Poseidon guided snorkel tours with qualified marine biologists. As from July Sailaway start their additional Sunset Sailing EVERY FRIDAY as well as EVERY WEDNESDAY. Shaolin is back on the run to Low Isles, looking great and going well after loving maintenance. Please make a note in your diary for the Shaolin TV feature on Queensland Weekender, scheduled for Saturday 28th June Channel 7 at 5.30pm.        ]]></description>
