10:00 - There are two rainbow reflections from the sun in the sky, the waves are weak and the wind is too. We went out in this marvelous weather and we found ourselves 2 humpback whales!! I can't ask for more than this! This tour started with a bang, and since it was spooky season, the whales were in for a treat. They both came super close and spooked us with their blows! Cheeky whales. We also spotted 2 minke whales in the area but they were passing by, being the good whales that they are. We also scanned the area but found nothing and went back to the first humpback for a nice flukebye! What a day to be out!

14:00 - The weather did not change at all, it was still perfect, apart from the cold, so we went out in search of our friends, the cetaceans! After half an hour we had our first encounter with a humpback whale that was kinda weird, always very irregular on its dives but always perfect for taking pictures and hearing the big blow. We stayed there for some time and then we went in search of other species. We did find another species, a small pod of 4 white-beaked dolphins that were a bit shy but still came close enough that we could see their face. Another nice day in the bay!
