Hello Whalewatchers!
It was a fantastic morning for whale watching. Our first encounter was with four humpbacks fluking and coming to the surface very often for air. In addition to our humpback friends, we also saw a striped marlin sunning itself on the surface as well as a hammer head shark! Shortly after, we had a second sighting of 
humpbacks, this time it was a group of three that came up under the boat, then showed us there flukes. The ocean is very calm today, and we’ve seen several turtles hanging out on the surface, like this little guy pictured on the right. We also spent some time with a breaching whale on the bow before heading off to Los Frailes for a walk along the shore and then a snorkel session.
The shore excursion was quite enjoyable, and there were many bird sightings. After a warm walk in the sun, the group went for a snorkel at the reef, where they saw a variety of fish. Throughout the afternoon there was a cow and calf humpback whale breaching close to the beach. We’re traveling up into the Sea of Cortez tonight, and our whalewatchers are excited to swim with the whale sharks in the morning.
