What a DIFFERENT ocean! Everything you could dream of seeing on a whale watch, we got and MORE! Whales YES plural and hundreds of dolphins everywhere we looked! We got word early that there was a feeding frenzy just a bit south west of the jetties. When we got on scene, there were probably 400 long beaked common dolphins feeding on bait fish with THOUSANDS of birds swarming in the sky and diving to feed on the same fish, just beyong this ENORMOUS biomass was a humpback whale! This humpback was super surface active and stayed up giving us great looks at its fluke! We watched as it followed to dolphins for a time, then it split off on its own, chilled for a bit and began a charge back in the direction of the dolphins! When we caught up with the dolphins, there was also a minke whale near by! TWO species of whales, hundreds of dolphins, sea lions all feeding together in harmony and a stunner of a sunset! A full 360 view of insane clouds and sun rays lighting up the sky!
Get out here while it’s hot!
These have been some of the most stunning nights of the year!
