Humpback Whales

Humpback whales are seen only at certain times of the year in these waters. The most common time to sight these marine mammals tends to be from September to early December, however we have been seeing these giants since May. This is the time they start to head south towards their breeding and birthing grounds.

Killer Whales
Latin Name: Orcinus orca

Killer Whales are the largest members of the Dolphin family. They are classified as large toothed Cetaceans.  They have a cone-shaped head and streamlined fusiform body. They are incredibly distinct large mammals with black and white markings and a grey saddle patch located behind their dorsal fin. They use their tail (fluke) for propulsion through the water, pectoral fins for direction and steering, and their dorsal fin aids them in stability.
