WOW!!! 🤩🐋✨ Humpback Whale mugging made for an unforgettable trip for our passengers this week!
A “whale mugging” refers to a fascinating and rare behavior where whales interact with boats or people in ways that might seem like playful or curious “mugging.” This phenomenon involves the whale approaching a boat and engaging in behavior that can range from gently rubbing up against the boat to staying close for extended periods, almost as if they’re seeking attention or interaction. Just amazing!

UNREAL encounter!!!!! Humpback whale waving HELLO 👋🏻 🐋 at our passengers!!!! The ocean has an amazing way of leaving us in awe with magical moments like this!
Absolutely EPIC day of Whale Watching yesterday, one for the books! 🐋✨🌊✨🐋
Shortly after disembarking, Oceanside Adventures vessel “Nala” spotted their first sign of life approximately 7 nautical miles west of Oceanside Harbor. Thousands of Common Dolphin and various seabirds all in a frenzy feeding on schools of anchovy. Amongst the frenzied sealife were 3 Humpback whales, and to the excitement of the passengers, these giants began to lunge feed through the schools of bait fish. Throughout the day these animals continued to provide a spectacular show, wandering between the many large schools of fish, feeding amongst the dolphin, and occasionally breaching to show excitement of their own.

Amazing encounter with Risso’s Dolphins yesterday! 🐬🩵 They are so graceful gliding through the water.
Risso’s dolphins are a medium-sized cetacean known for its distinctive appearance, characterized by a robust body and a rounded head with no beak. They are typically grayish with a lighter underbelly, and as they age, they develop prominent scars from interactions with other dolphins, squid, and their environment.
These dolphins are social animals, often seen in groups, and are known for their acrobatic displays. Risso’s dolphins primarily feed on squid and can dive to significant depths to hunt. #rissosdolphin #dolphin #dolphinlovers #oceanside #oside #whalewatching #ecotourism
