Whale watching

A few weeks ago I had the chance to go whale watching on Drake Bay, here in Costa Rica.

All I can say is wow… it was an amazing trip. We had perfect weather, and were lucky enough to see several whales. On Saturday we saw a male whale for the longest time, and eventually heard him sing as well - it was amazing, we could hear the songs without any aid out side the water!!

On Sunday we had even more luck. We followed around 4-5 males and one female for about 2 hours. It was impressive to see those multi-ton animals ram and hit each other for the love of the girl…

Overall, it was a great trip, and I definitely recommend it. You can book similar tours through the OTS, a non-profit academic organization that has a Biocursos program to raise awareness about the environment.

Here are some pictures that I took:
