Our captain guided us through the waters of Stephen's Passage, surrounded by gorgeous mountains and glaciers. We all loved Mike, our on-board naturalist, who informed us about the behavior and habitats of humpback whales. When we were in position, we all went out on deck, and not 30 seconds later we saw our first whale. It took our breath away. And for the next couple of hours we saw whale after whale, some of them not 20 feet away from our little boat. Rachel took the best pictures, most of these are hers. So incredibly cool! We will never forget this.
