Jervis Bay Dolphins Behaviour – Tail Slapping

Jervis Bay Dolphins Behaviour – Tail Slapping

 

We are fortunate enough to see some very interesting things when out on Jervis Bay,

Such behaviours are all an important part of Dolphin (& Whale) communication and can mean a range of things. If the slaps are soft and gentle, the dolphin may be alerting other dolphins or trying to gain their attention. A single explosive slap – or a succession of much firmer slaps is a definite warning sign.

Sometimes we also see it as a form of play!

Check out our facebook videos to check out some dolphin tail slapping action!

"It was with out a doubt the best day we have had for years!"

My niece and I had a fantastic day both Dolphin and Whale watching. It was with out a doubt the best day we have had for years! We saw 2 types of dolphins, seals, fairy penguins and the majestic whales who seemed to be interacting with us for ages. The information given to us by the crew was spot on and very interesting. Thank you Paula and Johnny for an amazing day we will never forget. We were given a thorough safety run down, entertained, given history lessons, and given extra coats to block the wind. Can't wait to return and highly recommend it to everyone.
