Lots of whales are still in the area! We found six humpback whales just over an hour from the harbor!

Our first sighting was a pair of whales – one surfaced regularly while the other barely appeared.

Next, we found a trio of whales moving slowly around the area, often changing directions.

Then a solo humpback showed up, taking short dives.

Humpback whales were identified as Pluma, Grommet, Partition, Quill, Pylon and GOM 1827.

As we headed home, we found another whale. This wasn’t a humpback, but instead was a very rare visitor- a North Atlantic right whale!!! North Atlantic right whales are critically endangered with only about 350 individuals in their population. We got one quick look at this rare whale and moved on to avoid disturbing it with our presence.

Such a fantastic day!
