One of the coolest things I’ve seen ever!

WOW, JUST WOW! This just in from the 2:30 whale watch on August 29th! An incredible capture by Jared Smelter of a breaching minke whale!

Reported to have breached at least a dozen times, it is a rare behavior to witness with any whale species, but especially minke whales!

This season continues to bring many surprises and rare encounters with unique wildlife!

Thank you, Jared Smelter!
