2016 Tour 2 La Paz and Los Islotes

Hello whalewatchers:  We had another great day here on Searcher. We started with a nice sunrise and then our passengers got the chance to view whale sharks from the boat or while snorkeling! After we left that area, we worked north and found a group of pilot whales. tour 2 pilot whalesThere were about 35 animals and most of the animals spyhopped and logged on the water with their heads bobbing out of the water. It was like they were watching us watching them! After that we found an area with humpback whales and so many turtles that I lost count. We also saw rays gliding thru the water and jumping as well. It was an amazing day.

After lunch we went to Los Islotes and had the place to ourselves. We finished the day with a skiff ride and a snorkel with beautiful fish and a few friendly sea lions  moving north tonight wish us luck tomorrow.

Tour #6 Capt Art’s favorite spot April 19

Hello whalewatchers,
Well our final day of 2011 season is here and we started the day in a great place at a great time–sunrise at Punta Colorado Isla San Jose. This is one of my favorite places in all of Baja.Thank you to Ilka Serpell who took this shot of Searcher at Punta Colorado earlier this year.

We had a beach walk on this beautiful island and then  started south towards Los Islotes looking for whales. We saw a juvenile humpback and a fin whale in windy conditions. We arived at Los Islotes and the wind died and we were able get a skiff ride and a snorkel in. We had great looks at blue-footed boobies and lots of sea lions.
We ended the trip by seeing a big group of long-beaked common dolphin and then had a quick look at a dwarf sperm whale.
What a great day for our final day! And what an incredible season we had with really good whale sightings all season and terrific guests! I can’t say enough about the people we met this year and how much fun we all had.

Thank you all so very much for joining us this year and we hope to see some of you in the future.

Keep checking my blog as we’ll continue to report from the San Diego area and about our upcoming Memorial Day Wildlife Weekend.
