Hello whalewatchers: We started at Los Frailes for a walk and a snprkel session this morning. Several people stayed ashore to birdwatch and a few people went snorkelling for the last time. We went offshore to find lots of humpbacks in groups this afternoon. Plenty of acrobatics today with multiple breaches, flipper flapping and tail lobbing. It was a great way to end the trip!

Hello whalewatchers: We had another full day of activity with awesome weather still. We started with a skiff ride in the mangroves at Isla San Jose. Next there was a skiff ride and a snorkel session at Los Islotes. Everyone really enjoyed the sea lions. We headed east in search of a whale. Capt Kenny did it again by finding a pair of blue whales close to the same spot as last trip. We followed the pair for and hour during sunset and then another blue whale joined the pair. We had limited lighting but we had all three blue whales off the bow at once. An awesome way to finish the activities for the day!
The icing on the cake was margaritas and a buffet on the back deck. What a day!

Hello whalewatchers; We’ve had another spectacular day today. It actually started last night after dinner with shutting down the generator for some quite time and some awesome star gazing! It was a very clear night.
Today we had great walk on Isla Santa Catalina with rattleless rattle nakes, lizards, and good birding, then we had a snorkel session and a Krazy Koastal Kruise which was enjoyed by everyone. We left at lunchtime to see if we could find a whale. We came across a good group of 100 bottlenose dolphin, another big group of common dolphins, and a humpback whale kept us busy.
Today’s picture is of Chris Williams on the bow during one of our visits with dolphin. (“Hello Mary!”)
