2016 Tour 1 Cabo San Lucas area

Hello whalewatchers: We had a great morning of whalewatching with good looks at humpback whales. There were plenty of whales around the Gorda Banks area. Just about every direction you wanted to look, there were spouts or a breacher. Today’s photo is of a cow (at the surface) and calf that were tail-lobbing together, and the calf was breaching repeatedly.trip 1 humpback lobtail
In addition, we had a rarity today: rough-toothed dolphins. These are animals that we haven’t seen in this area before. We also spotted a few bottlenose dolphin and a red-billed tropic bird to add to the list today.
We stopped at Los Frailes for a beach walk and some birding, and we will have dinner here in a calm spot.
Headed north tonight.

Tour #5 Last day in Baja April 4

Hello whalewatchers,
We enjoyed another beautiful day in the Sea of Cortez, with calm seas and no wind. This is weather we dream about. We made a quick visit to Nopolo for a pre-breakfast walk and the endemic Xantus hummingbird showed well. We headed south towards Los Islotes .
After a skiff ride to look at the sea lions and birds with the highlight being the courting blue-footed boobies, the snorkellers went in. The visibilty was the best we’ve seen in quite some time with clear water and lots of fish.
After leaving there we came across a big group of bottlenose dolphin. This group wanted to perform, with several animals leaping in the wake as  high as 20 feet in the air. It was impressive! We saw one more humpback whale and a great sunset to end a great trip.
See you all next trip,
