The whale watching is ON FIRE OUT HERE!!!!! Serial breaching humpbacks are what everyone dreams of seeing when they head out on a whale watching trip! There’s NOTHING like watching an 80,000lb animal launch its ENTIRE body out of the ocean over and over again! ( check out the passengers faces on the large boat behind the breaching whale, it’ll give you an idea) The whole boat goes up in a roar of joyful screams! It’s overwhelming in the best possible way. This whale put on quite the show for us, starting with multiple tail throws, a few breaches, then some pec slapping and back to the breach-a-thon. Did you know that a single breach for a whale is estimated to burn 44,000 calories? The equivalent of a human running an ENTIRE MARATHON! We were lucky this trip both started and ended with hundreds of long beaked common dolphins! The dolphins really kept the energy up and the passengers happy.
Get out here! This is the best fall whale watching we’ve had in years!
