Not a bad way to start the week with whales to watch! On Monday morning we saw six humpback whales. Individuals included Pinball, Satula, Sword, Frost, Valley and Jawa.

Frost and Sword provided a few highlights as they both tail-breached and lob-tailed multiple times.

Being in the right place at the right time, and most importantly, looking in the right direction, can create some incredible memories. Those moments continued on Monday afternoon's trip. The sightings began a mile from home- an ocean sunfish so soon into the trip!

As we headed offshore, we deviated course when a whale was spotted leaping clear out of the water, a behavior known as breaching. It was humpback whale Spoon, along with Chromosome.

Sightings continued with a minke whale, a stealthy fin whale and more humpback whales.

Humpback whales Ravine, Pixar, Owl and Clamp rounded out the trip while surrounded by beautiful ocean conditions.
Whales can certainly put a lot of smiles on peoples faces and we are big fans of smiles. Many thanks to the whales who continue to provide such joy to not only our passengers but even our crew. On both trips on Tuesday we watched six humpback whales. In the morning Frost and Sword surprised us all with some incredible breaching and flipper slapping events.
