We succumbed and went on a whale boat trip.  Guaranteed sighting or money back.  And we did see whales.  Magical.  A sighting from afar.

I could really bore you here, so here is the pick of many hundreds of photographs..  The small dorsal fin that gives the humpback it’s name.

The tail fluke.  White underneath, black on top.

The jagged edge of the tail fluke.

The speckled bits at the sides are barnacles

A fin wave.

Diving under the boat.

The blow hole and head area
