Here are some pics I took on Saturday afternoon, about 2nm off Optio Bay in Mercury Bay.

Two Humpbacks, breaching for over an hour. One of the coolest things I've seen out there in quite a while.

Great pics Hybrid. Must have been pretty cool to have been that close.

Yeah was pretty cool, there was no one else around either so they weren't too bothered by us. Looked like a mother and calf, as one was much bigger than the other, but they both were jumping all over the show. Was a real treat to see it.
