I found that most people joining us for an opportunity to see the whales had completely unrealistic expectations or weren’t prepared for the experience at all. So, let’s talk about exactly what to expect and how to have the best chances for special moments diving with humpback whales.

On our last evening we got to swim for more than an hour with this super calm mom and baby humpback just before sunset. I’ve come every year to swim with the whales and it’s still hard to leave in moments like this :) The whales dictate the interaction - as in never charging in towards them directly. I know it’s sort of hard because in photos it’s so hard to tell just how far away we are. I love adventure travel all over the world. Follow along my journey on Instagram to see where I go next!
