We had booked this a few weeks ago back in the UK, we were advised that it would be cold and choppy, which ruled Jules out of the trip. We arrived at 8:30am ready for our 4 hour trip. When they said it would be cold and choppy they were correct, although it was a fairly still day there was quite a swell when we got out of the harbour. We spotted hundreds of birds such as brands cormorants, sooty shearwaters, guilemots also we saw loads of sea otters, and seals.
After about two hours of looking for whales we came across a pair of humpback whales, they we feeding on anchovies. This meant that they would dive down for about 5 minutes at a time and then come up to breath. There were about 4 boats circling around where these whales were diving, we have some cool photos to show you, also you can't believe how loud they are when they spray the water up, you can hear it from miles away. On the way back we found a pod of dolphins about 200 strong and got some got photos of these as they came quite near to the boat, see below.
