Whales and Dolphins

We are currently sailing through the Bonney Upwelling and having some great cetacean encounters. Three Blue Whales have already been seen this morning and we had great views of a pod of Long-finned Pilot Whales. Best of all was a spectacular encounter with the stunning and rarely seen Southern Right Whale Dolphin. We were accompanied for a time by a pod of over 100, boiling the water and leaping in the air.
