Cheap trips during the peak whale watching season are being offered this Sunday as a fundraiser for the Te Puke scouts.
Mary and Graeme Butler of ‘Butlers Swim with Dolphins' have donated the use of the ketch Gemini Galaxsea for the day to assist the scouts in fundraising for their jamboree in January.
The scouts have about 30 discount tickets to sell, but by mid week there were still several available.
Gemini Galaxsea is expected to depart C Pier at the harbour bridge marina at about 8.30am.
This week the Te Puke scouts are concentrating on other fundraising such as selling raffle tickets on behalf of the Lions Club.
A humpback whale was seen from the Gemini Galaxsea on Sunday near the Five Mile, and recreational fishers are still reporting seeing a lot of whale food in the water.
'If we are just picking them up, there must be quite a few about,” says Butler.
The scouts' fundraising trip includes a bonus lunch.

Like the idea of getting out and doing something a bit different but would like to see the $ for tickets. Hope you all have fun.
