Gorgeous shots! Does anyone know what types of whales these are?

I thought they brought their flukes above water when they dive though?

They’re not diving here though, just breathing. It’s easy to ID humpbacks by the size of their flippers, which are proportionately much bigger than any other species.

Cool thanks for the education! I love learning new things about whales!

Nice shots! be careful not to get closer than 100m vertical or horizontal - it's a $3300 fine in nsw.

Thanks for that info mate I was not aware of that. It was a complete chance encounter I was not out looking for whales, I had just bought my first ever drone and went to the beach to try catch a nice sunset and ended up spotting some whales so took a quick video. I will keep the height restrictions in mind next time. Thanks
