The 10am trip was lucky to Blue whale and Fin whale swimming right next to each other. It is rare enough to see one or the other but to see them both at the same time was truly amazing!

Humpback whales are known for a wide variety of surface behaviors, from tail slapping, pectoral fin slapping and even breaching. Our trips on 4/26 were lucky to see all of these surface behaviors!

We see Humpback whales regularly. We see Dolphins quite often too. Sometimes we see Whales and Dolphins together! Like these feeding Humpbacks and Pacific White-sided Dolphins seen earlier this week!
