Whales continue to be plentiful, and we are so grateful to witness wildlife at its finest. On Monday, we spent time with three different trios of humpback whales!

Occasionally we see baleen whales form associations, but what a sight to see all of our sightings in groups.

Individuals included Nile, Entropy, Zodiac, Mudskipper and her 2024 calf, Springboard, Patches, and Crossbeam.

Some whales were filtering water, and others were moving around the area. A few lucky passengers even got a look at a breaching basking shark! On Monday afternoon, we had some quick looks at a minke whale breaching(!) before making our way to Jeffreys Ledge. Once on the Ledge, whales were everywhere. We saw two additional minke whales, six fin whales (including Crow!), and numerous humpback whales including Satula, Pinball, Mudskipper and her 2024 calf.

Spouts could be seen in all different directions and whales circled the area in full force!

On our travels home we were sprinkled with another treat a pod of 50 Atlantic white-sided dolphins.

Tuesday morning was fin-tastic! During our travels, we saw three ocean sunfish before seeing six of the second-largest mammals on Earth - fin whales!

The fin whales were circling the area. At one point we even got a chance to see three fin whales associated together!

Tuesday afternoon we had a couple of distant looks at fin whales, and this time, now had multiple humpback whale sightings. At least nine humpback whales were sighted including Satula, Mudskipper and her 2024 calf, Owl, and Scylla and her 2024 calf.
