Humpback Diving

We saw humpback whales all but one day of the trip. This day they came really close to the boat, so close that we could smell their fishy breath when they blew... awesome.

Stunning. I have to see Whales soon - seen Seals, Dolphins on trips recently - Whale has to be soon!

Lucky is right... but we saw humpbacks every day except one and on several days they came right up to the boat like this one did. Totally amazing!

Wonderful picture. The water streaming down the trail really gives the sense of movement.

Amazing capture! We live so far away from the whales so I have to settle seing them on pictures and television.
