It's the only known predictable aggregation of these whales in the entire world. 🌏 These curious creatures are known to approach boats, divers and snorkellers and will often interact with people for extended periods of time. 〰️ The Minke Whale Project conducts research into the biology and behaviour of these incredible whales.

🎥: Julia Sumerling (@seajewlz) // In 2004, Dr. Jason Gedamke was recording underwater sounds in the Great Barrier Reef, and discovered the dwarf minke is the source of an unusual, complex, and stereotyped vocalization called the “star wars” call. Volume up to hear it! This regional-specific behavioral distinction suggests aggregate or community adaptive behaviors among subspecies of minke whales. | Ocean Conservation Research - OCR

The Dwarf Minke Whale Smooth and sleek, the Dwarf Minke Whale is a stunning yet fleeting visitor to the Great Barrier Reef. They’re only here for a few short months each year, and as this season comes to a close, we’re sad to see them go. The countdown to next year’s Minke season begins... but in the meantime, Humpback Whales are still passing through and turtle nesting and hatching season is just around the corner. 🎥 @tomparkfilms with Ocean Quest @divers_den #greatbarrierreef #minkewhale #wil

“Excuse me, do you speak Whale?”🎶 We are pretty sure Master Reef Guide Michelle can speak to Dwarf Minke Whales. Have a look at this recent close-up interaction only a few days ago.

Only book tours to see the minke whales with operators that hold a minke whale permit. Many greedy people illegally run operations to bring peopl

Incoming… minke season. They are rare, ridiculously curious and Tropical North Queensland is the only place on Earth you can swim with them. Each winter, dwarf minke whales migrate from subantarctic waters to the stretch between Port Douglas and Lizard Island, and for a few short weeks, the #GreatBarrierReef becomes home to the world’s most exclusive whale encounter. The season is short. The encounters unforgettable. Learn more here 🐋 https://bit.ly/43qy7bh 🎥 IG/pablocogollos_photography Mike

Our Instructor Brad found himself swimming in Minke Whale Soup during a recent safety stop 🐳 We've had a bumper season with the Dwarf Minkes so far - our record is 82 individual whales spotted in one week 😲 Is this the best safety stop ever? Psst - we're already starting to book out for our 2020 Minke departures! Who's going to be joining us ➡️ http://bit.ly/2xSsza1 #MinkeWhales #MinkeWhaleProject 📹 Brad Fisher | Spirit Of Freedom

Open wide: Dwarf Minke Whale. Minke whales feed by side-lunging into schools of prey and gulping large amounts of water. They won't feed like this when visiting the waters of the northern Great Barrier Reef, but sometimes you'll still get to see this gulping display. Not long to go until they'll be back for this year's season. Report any sightings using the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority Eye on the Reef app. 📽 Master Reef Guide Pablo Cogollos with Mike Ball Dive Expeditions | Master R

Posted • @pablocogollos_photography 🐋✨ “They’re back — the incredible dwarf minke whales have returned to the warm waters of Far North Queensland! ⁣ Every year, between June and July, these gentle, curious giants migrate to the Great Barrier Reef, making this the only place in the world where you can experience in-water encounters with them. ⁣ It’s a short season, but an unforgettable one. Floating eye-to-eye with a minke whale is something you’ll never forget — intimate, humbling, and absolute
