Today was a truly special day aboard The Peregrine. Under sunny skies and calm seas, we encountered around 100 Long-Beaked Common Dolphins racing alongside the boat — always a favorite sight for our guests. But the highlight of the trip came with not just one, but three Minke whales surfacing throughout the day. Known for being shy and elusive, these whales don’t often linger near vessels, so seeing multiple individuals in one outing was an incredible treat. With playful dolphins, rare whale sightings, and perfect ocean conditions, today reminded us why every trip out on the Pacific is a new adventure.
