We hit the jackpot and stumbled upon a group of humpbacks—how majestic are they?!
It’s always an incredible thrill to witness these magnificent whales in action! And while we were fortunate to encounter these humpbacks, the orca photos below are a real treat—seeing orcas isn't as common, so we're lucky to have captured them on a separate outing.
