Hello Whalewatchers!

A great sunrise this morning! The lighting on the peninsula in this area is stunning! We arrived at Isla San Francisco for a walk and a snorkel session. The view from the ridge is certainly a highlight. From here you can see the bay with all the boats from the perfect elevation.

We left the island and headed south for our last afternoon of whale watching offshore. After lunch, we came across a group of pilot whales. They were laying on the surface not moving, which is something I haven’t seen in a long time. The pilot whales started to move and came right up to the boat! Allowing us to look down and see them under the surface of the

water. We spent about an

hour with this group when another group joined them. The two groups together totaled about 50 pilot whales. It was the best pilot whale viewing  we had this year. To cap the day off, we also had some more Dwarf Sperm whale sightings!
