Curious Humpback Whale Pod Surfaced

During today's whale watch we were lucky enough to have a pod of 6 humpback whales that were very curious and came right up close to the boat to check what we were doing! They completed multiple laps of the boat, delighting everyone on board as they surfaced right up beside us allowing everyone to see the true enormous size of these humpback whales.

We were also lucky enough to see a wide variety of behaviors including pectoral flipper slaps, breaches, head lunges and even a spyhop.
