Thar She Blows...

We were very excited when we had this first sighting of a humpback whale. These whales can grow up to 52 feet long, but as baleen whales, they only eat krill and small fish.

This was our best sighting. We did see some water spouts from the blow hole, but never saw any breaching. It was also difficult to tell how many whales we saw as we only ever saw one at a time and they can stay submerged for around 15 minutes. It was exciting and yet a bit disappointing at the same time. Despite Ashlynn wearing her lucky Orcas Rock sweatshirt, we weren’t lucky enough to spot any orcas or dolphins.
