Whale watching
We took a boat ride out to see the whales. We've seen a few from our hotel and once from the road but it was nothing compared to seeing them up close. We first came upon a baby, only 4 days old swimming with her Mommy. Then we came across a group of at least 6 male whales battling for the mating rights of a female. That was incredible to watch! They'd lunge out of the water and head butt the whale under them, tail slap and generally push and shove each other! The guide said it was a very rare thing to watch, and we were lucky enough to see it up close! We didn't get many pictures, it was hard to capture it, but it was really amazing to watch!
