7.6.2025 AM and PM Whale Watch

Today’s trip aboard the Legacy was filled with incredible dolphin activity from start to finish. We encountered multiple pods of common dolphins, each offering a unique glimpse into their behavior. Some pods were actively feeding, creating bursts of energy at the surface as seabirds circled overhead. Others chose to swim right alongside our boat, riding the bow and playing in our wake, giving us unforgettable close-up views. The dolphins’ speed, agility, and curiosity were a highlight for everyone on board. Though we didn’t spot any whales today, the nonstop dolphin action made for an exciting and memorable day on the water.

1000 Common Dolphin
3 Mola Mola

The morning cruise on Sunday, July 6 was a beautiful, warm, sunny day. We encountered many different pods of common dolphin with a total of about 1000 individuals, including a nursery pod. The dolphins put on a show with acrobatics that delighted the guests. They were launching into the air, back flopping into the ocean, and playing in the boat’s wake! A nearby boat spotted a minke whale so we made our way over there, but the elusive minke was not to be found. On the way back in we encountered a large group of common dolphins and 3 Mola Mola basking in the sun. Not a cloud in the sky on this beautiful July day.

During the 1:00pm afternoon cruise on July 6th, we had a beautiful and sunny day on the water. We saw around 600 common dolphin, with two sightings, once in the first half of our trip and once in the latter half. It appeared to be a nursery pods, with many very young calves spotted in the pod. They were jumping in the wakes of our boat and making large splashes in the water. We also saw a 2-3 especially large mola mola across the trip. We did spot a few low, infrequent spouts across our trip, potentially of a shy, elusive, minke whale.
