Hello Whalewatchers!
We started our day in one of our favorite places in Baja, Punta Colorado, Isla San Jose! Sunrise at this location are always memorable. This morning was a great example. The lighting on the red sandstone cliff when the sun first comes up is remarkable. After breakfast, we went for a walk on the island, then enjoyed a snorkel session. Everyone had an amazing time with both activities.
After leaving Punta Colorado we traveled north up the San Jose channel. The crew spotted a herd of common dolphins. we spent some time with the herd, there were quite a few mothers with their babies in this herd. It is always a treat to see baby dolphins!
We continued on and it didn’t take long before we spotted dwarf sperm whales on the surface. The calm seas allowed us to spot the dwarf sperm whales, which can only be spotted in these calm conditions. We were able to get close so everyone had a good look.
A little further north we came across an area where there were a lot of rays on this surface and a single Bryde’s whale. The finale was a tremendous sunset – the beauty of Baja continues to amaze me everyday.
