Some of the year 10s excited to see what they can spot!

Charlotte was the first to spot a Minke whale so the guide invited her to stand next to him to help him spot more (which she did) #prowhalewatcher #marinebiologist

Heading back from Whale watching. It was incredible! We saw lots of Minke whales and right at the end got the best view of a humpback while. Pictures to follow very soon... #whalewatching #minke #humpback #whales
