We love that feeling of setting off on a paddle in search of whales. Everyone’s excited, a little nervous, and full of anticipation. After a while, we settle into a rhythm, paddling together, all eyes on the horizon.
Along the way, there’s plenty happening. Sea lion haulouts full of noise and energy (have you heard them before?) and eagles dropping down to fish nearby. As we're floating about, a pod of porpoises might cruising by. The “in-between” moments are often just as good as the main event.
And then it happens....whoosh....a humpback blows in the distance. Suddenly everything shifts. The day that already felt full now has a new focus, and everyone is quietly tracking movement, scanning the horizon, trying to pick up the next sign.
There’s a clear change in energy on the water. You feel it in the group, in the silence, excitement and attention. We’re not alone out here, we’re sharing the ocean with these incredible animals.
Every trip is different, but that feeling always hits the same.
