Sea conditions were stunning today so not only was seeing wildlife perfection, the viewing of all that wildlife was equally as fantastic. On our way offshore we found a pod of 60-70 Atlantic white-sided dolphins.

A group of five humpback whales were napping at the surface together, another pair was moving around in sync and other individuals surfaced here and there.
