Whale Watching Tour

Close encounter with humpback whales

We took a whale watching tour one day out of Lo de Marcos.  The cost was 200 pesos  ($15 CAD) per person for the 2 hour tour.  We went almost 10 miles off the coast before spotting the first pod of whales.  In all, we saw 3 pods, the last one consisted of 10 whales. It was hard to take photos with waves bouncing the boat but what a great day!
