Whale success

Central Coast Tourism has announced the Ettalong Beach whale watching cruises will continue its service after July, following its success on the Peninsula.

"The newly introduced whale watching cruises out of Ettalong Beach have been a stunning success," sales and information manager Ms Jacqui Greaves said.

"Every one of the 10 departure dates has been almost completely sold out.

"Since the tours were announced, our office has been inundated with phone calls and we have made a huge number of bookings.

"Because of this huge success, Fantasea Cruises has advised that they will be running more whale watching cruises in September and October, when the whales swim back south with their calves."
