I can cross out watching Whales in the wile off my things to do before I die. After what seems like a never ending boat ride, we finally saw the first signs of the Whale. It was a thirlling adventure. I have never felt like that before. I had goosebumps all over me when I saw the blow coming out of the water. They were HUGGEEE and playful. The boat is not allowed to go within 100 metres of them but the whale are allowed to come near the boat. Which they did because the Marine Biologist said that they might be curious males who wants to check out whats going on.
I did not feel like we were on a massive touristy boat but instead it was a small boat with about 25 people on it. I did not get sick. Thank God for TravelCalm. :*) I took 2 before we left the house this morning. And when we reached Hillary's Boat Harbour I felt like my body was so weak because it was so CALM. So I went for a walk for about 15 minutes so that my body can adjust to being awake.
Anyways back to the whales, they were humpback whales. We were surrounded by a few pods that were swimming in the area. It was quite hillarious to see our boat going round and round chasing the pods of whales. Ok enough talking lets get on with the pictures. I soooo love my new camera with the Sports mode where you can just click on the button once and it will take multiple pictures until you let go. So here is a series of the Whale doing a tail dive before diving deep. The males can be underwater for 45 minutes and the females only 15 minutes.
Enjoy the pictures. It was not so sunny today.... click to Embiggen. :*)
