This estimated 3.0m female, whilst a little shy was the star of the first half of the trip.

The Bronze Whalers could be seen for much of the trip, cruising at a distance before choosing their moment to come closer.

Our guests enjoyed a lovely afternoon out on the water as our weather conditions start to clear

Towards the end of the trip sightings started to slow down as the two females disappeared, however, this male Bronze Whaler appeared to save the day!

A big thank you to all our guests! We hope you enjoyed your afternoon on the sea with the MD team.
