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.

This nursery pod was so mellow allowing for some beautiful looks at these toothed-whales.
Glass-like ocean!

More dolphins!
Offshore we saw at least 8 minke whales, a fin whale, 11 humpback whales and a of couple harbor seals.

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.
