Hello Whalewatchers,

What a great morning we had! We are very blessed to have no wind and calm seas again. We all agreed it was going to be another beautiful day.

The waters were active with sea creatures right from daylight when we spotted a long winded blue whale! We saw a variety of dolphin, including: Rizzo’s dolphin, common dolphin and bottlenose dolphin. In between dolphin sightings we had green sea turtles in every direction! Oh! And let’s not forget a

pair of humpback whales. If that isn’t enough, there was a 25 foot whale shark on the surface! The water was crystal clear allowing us to see the entire whale shark even as it dove.

As lunch time approached we watched Humpback whales doing the usual behaviors, breaching, lob-tailing and pectoral flipper flapping in the distance. We were able to get close enough to have a good look. As part of our lunch-time entertainment, we had a trio of humpbacks fluking regularly and with the clear waters made them easy to track.

We traveled to Bahia Los Frailes for a walk and enjoyed the sunshine and amazing landscape. The water is 73 degrees F and 23.5 degrees C – perfect for our first snorkel session!
