The fabulous Kingfisher Bay

We enjoyed several days at Kingfisher Bay. It was an idealic setting as we had a delightful mooring which was about a 5 minute dinghy trip from the resort. We give them full marks for the facilities, as they have hot showers, pool, sporting facilities and bar and restaurant especially provided for day visitors. The resort itself is very tastefully done blending into the environment beautifully. They have a great walking trail about 3.5 kms which gives wonderful views.

A highlight was last Saturday morning at 6am when anchored in the Bay. The water was like glass when we suddenly heard this big crash - I thought, oh no a boat has run into the jetty. Were we delighted to find it was a whale. It was jumping out of the water, then cracking down on the water (similar to a gun shot). It was very large and just breathtaking to watch. It was a reasonable distance away(250 mtrs) people from the resort were watching from shore. Everyone was very excited. We hope to see more whales in the next few days as we are right in their territory and apparently this is the best time to see them(before breeding season). Hopefully Janine will get to see some when she visits too.
