Mother Nature decided to throw us a few surprises on Monday. A bit of wind, some waves and sprinkle in fog, what a great combination... The whales never seem to mind as we watched them on both our trips. On the morning trip we spent time with humpback whales Jawa, Valley and Pinball. We were also fortunate to come across a pod of Atlantic white-sided dolphins!

Tuesday's whales watches brought us back to the same area from the day before. Whales were scattered all around in singles and pairs. Being wild animals means whales can come and go as they please so having these marine mammals still around is a fortunate experience. Check out the unique black and white pigmentation patterns of some of our Tuesday morning whale sightings below!
On both trips on Tuesday at least 10 humpback whales were seen. Many of the whales were napping while others provided their own excitement, in their own unique ways. In the morning, along with an ocean sunfish, we had a rare sighting of a Brown Booby flying right next to the boat!
