Everywhere Today was a spectacular day on the Pacific, packed with variety and unforgettable encounters across both trips.
Morning Trip: A Little Bit of Everything The morning started with a southbound humpback whale making its way through the area, followed by the rare sight of not one but two mola molas (ocean sunfish) basking at the surface. Guests were also treated to a close look at a minke whale, as well as a lively pod of about 200 Short-Beaked Common Dolphins leaping and racing through the water.
Afternoon Trip: Breaching Humpbacks & Dolphin Pods The afternoon brought even more excitement, with three humpback whales spotted. One of them stole the show by breaching at least three times, sending huge splashes into the air and thrilling everyone on board. Alongside the whales, we also encountered two pods of Long-Beaked Common Dolphins, each about 250 strong, filling the ocean with playful energy. A Day to Remember From rare mola molas to powerful whale breaches and hundreds of dolphins, today had it all. Calm seas and sunny skies only added to the experience, making September 27th one of those days where the Pacific seemed to show off every bit of its magic.
