Pléneau Island

Had an amazing kayaking trip, well worth waiting for!
Weather was gorgeous and sea was like glass.
We watched penguins swimming, diving and propelling themselves out of the water
Then the whales came so we sat in the kayaks watching as numerous humpbacks appeared all around us!
What an amazing experience!
Out of one set of gear and into another for our nature landing on the island
Visited Gentoo colony, many parents on nests made from pebbles, sitting on eggs and day old chicks, reshuffling every few minutes so we could see
Walked with poles through the snow
Lots of opportunities to watch individual penguins playing in the snow on the way back
Fabulous setting for our hot tub before dinner
Evening whale watching from the top deck
Wow, whales everywhere!!
Tony counted 50 flukes😂
Unable to catch them on our cameras but Alan will have hundreds to offer
