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!
