For my birthday this
year my sisters got me a voucher for Michelle and I to go whale watching. We
had to wait until the right time of year for the whales to be migrating but
last week we finally we able to use the voucher and board the boat.
Luckily the weather
was fairly good that day so we were filled with nothing but excitement in the
hope of seeing Humpback whales (most common in the area), Orcas, Sea Turtles,
Dolphins and any other sea creature. The boat ride last around 4 hours and during
that time we manage to spot 4 humpback whales and some dolphins decided to swim
next to the boat at one point as well. The first whale we saw was SO close to
the boat that it literally took our breath away. We were almost too scared to
talk in case we scared it away! I don't know what it is but there's something
so amazing about seeing wild animals in their natural habitat. Due to them
being wild and out at sea it resulted in it being very hard to capture on
camera so I actually only managed to get one photo of the whales and completely
missed the dolphins! However, it was definitely an experience I'll never forget
and would recommend to everyone. It was also such a great gift idea as it
wasn't something which I would struggle to carry about while travelling and
also something we possibly wouldn't have done otherwise due to money. An
absolutely amazing day!!!
