Today we found ourselves amongst humpback whales feeding on pilchards, sardine. We’ve never seen so many humpbacks feeding so close to shore in one area! They lunge at the fish and come partly out of the water. They were lunging all around us – what a spectacle!
Very rarely do we see all three in one trip but on today’s Broken Group Islands Wildlife Cruise we saw several humpback whales, one gray whale and three killer whales. Plus off course we saw both Steller and California sea lions, harbour seals, eagles and various seabird species. And did I mention that it was a beautiful sunny day?
