Full send! 🐋 🙌🏽 This Humpback whale in Aitutaki, Cook Islands launched itself to the surface and then torpedoed back into the deep like it owned the ocean! During a heat run — the whales move with so much speed and power, it’s like watching a real life ocean showdown. Absolutely unreal to witness! ✨ #CookIslands #Aitutaki #whales #whaleswim #wildandfree #humpbackwhales #heatrun

The New Zealand fur seals of Kaikōura — playful, curious, super cute and full of character! 🦭💙 You’ll spot them sunbathing on the rocks and beaches, chilling at the fur seal colony or hanging out at Barney’s Rock. Sometimes they will leisurely float around on their backs in the ocean, waving a cheeky fin or two in the air 🙊 You might also come across them looking cosy and right at home on a footpath… or even lying in the middle of the road! For these guys, any patch of sunshine is basically a five-star hotel lol 🪨🌞 While they look perfectly chilled, it’s actually a much needed rest. These seals can spend weeks at sea hunting, their time on land is vital for recovery and recharging 😴 🔋 Next year on our Kaikoura Wildlife and Wellness Retreat 2026, we’ll be swimming and kayaking alongside these amazing animals — and we’d love for you to join us! 🥰 🫶🏽 #nzfurseal #furseal #seal #kekeno #marine #wildlife #nature #naturelover #wildlifephotography #southislandnz #kaikoura #newzealand
