Outstanding weather still holding. Sunny and hot. Today we had two tours:
Tour 1 was a boat ride to spot albatrosses (albatrossi?). Fantastic tour. We got to see 4 different albatross species, as well as shearwaters, and a couple of different kinds of petrels. At one point there were 10 different albatross around us. We also got to see dozens of dolphins.
Tour 2 was also a boat ride, but for whale watching. It's not whale season here, but we did manage to see a couple. The first one we saw was a first for us as well - a sperm whale. We have seen humpbacks, minkes, belugas and even a fin whale, but never a sperm whale. They aren't that easy to see because they can dive for up to 90 minutes at a time.
Later we saw a humpback with a bunch of dolphins. Even saw a breach, but no photos of that.
Perfect day.
