Tour #1 Whalewatching in Sea of Cortez

Hello whalewatchers: After a great morning at Punta Colorada, we went out to look for whales. The crew did a masterful job at spotting today–we had an incredible afternoon. We started with a blue whale and stayed with it for around an hour. This blue whale was a big animal, much bigger than the blue whale we saw off Mag Bay. The crew spotted some other spouts in the distance where belonged to a pod of pilot whales. We spent 45 minutes with pilot whales and decided to see what the other whales were in the area. We saw a pair of fin whales, a Bryde’s cow/calf pair and a breaching humpback whale in the distance! Not bad for a 3-hour period. We finished the day with a surface-feeding blue whale. This whale was really big. We stayed with the whale unti it was dark and then we started motoring towards Isla Santa Catalina. We had quite an afternoon with a picture of pilot whales close to the boat. I forgot to mention all the manta rays we saw jumping. Wow!
