Another exciting day with Humpbacks!

This mornings trip had yet another amazing trip with fantastic sightings! The over all trip composed of Humpbacks, Finbacks, Minke Whales, and seals! We headed south in hopes of finding some more active Humpback whales. And again, we found them! And again, there were numerous whales all around us! We first came across a pair of Humpback whales that were cooperatively bubble feeding! We were able to watch our for the greenish water of bubbles come to the surface and a few seconds later, 2 large Humpback whale mouths were bursting through the water wide open, catching fish and possibly even a bird in their mouth! We were told that the whales always spit out the birds that are a little too brave to get a left over fish, they don't taste any good. One of the whales was identified as Raccoon! This whale was first sighted in 1985 and has not been seen since 1995! A very exciting sighting today! The other whale has yet to be identified yet. As we were watching these 2 whales feed, we noticed that all of a sudden there were at least 3 other Humpback whales near us! A friend from yesterdays trip, Flask was sighted once again being active and tail-lobbing. Whales were feeding all around us that at one time, we couldn't move at all because we were surrounded by Humpbacks so close to our boat! What a sight it is to see such a beautiful large animal right next to the boat. As we had to leave the area to head back to shore, we came across 3 Finbacks! With such amazing sightings of Humpbacks and to then have 3 Finback swimming right along side the boat, it was definitely a spectacular trip! Some of our passengers, including 2 young twin boys were witnessing such sights on their first whale watch! Everyone on the boat couldn't believe what they were seeing, mother nature at her finest.

A few of our passengers were repeat passengers from years ago. As whale watching is not a guarantee, we love to hear from people about their amazing experiences aboard our boat and the fact that they come every year! Hopefully more family memories will be made this summer aboard our boat!
