I didn't know what to expect. I thought, "well if I see one whale and get a picture, that'll be worth it". HOLY HANNAH! Once we got out of the bay and into more open water, WE WERE SURROUNDED. Saw and stayed with 4 pods, a female and her calf sometimes accompanied by an additional adult female. The calves were especially active and several times completely leapt out of the water. Our guide/boat captain/owner of this small company, Blake, is a whale whisperer. The funniest thing I remember from the trip was Blake kind of saying under his breath "Damn, it's so much more difficult when there are so many whales around...". I couldn't stop laughing. Oh, and here's a bonus....we were contacted/escorted by about 12 dolphins that were coming right up to and swimming under our boat. You have to do this tour.
