Hello whalewatchers,
We had an excellent day today in the Sea of Cortez. We started with a great sunrise at Punta Colorado on Isla San Jose, then a walk on the island, followed by a snorkel session with great visibility. We headed north looking for whales and it didn’t take long to find a blue whale. Everyone had hoped to see a blue whale on this trip! The whale was great to watch with a 9- ,minute dive and plenty of time on the surface so we could get a good look, and then the whale fluked.
We continued north and came across an area of pilot whales. There were multiple spots of pilot whales so we had some good viewing. Another large blue whale was next up and some great looks at a big whale.
The weather was fantastic with calm seas and no wind. The landscape as always is a highlight. Looking forward to tomorrow.
