Today started with another windy morning. Due to the conditions, we had to reschedule the whale-watching rides, running one trip in the morning and two in the afternoon. Winds reached 16 knots in the morning but gradually decreased as the day progressed, giving us a sunny afternoon.
Guides reported a low number of whales in the area—just one mother and calf, with the rest being adults. According to the official census by Kojima, there are currently 15 whales.
Towards the end of one of the rides, just as the boats were about to leave after nearly 90 minutes on the water, the mother whale appeared. I have been speaking with some of them, reminding them that this is nature and we must appreciate what it offers rather than expect guaranteed interactions.
On the other hand, Andrea Amzaleg and their group had an incredible experience, witnessing everything from petting whales to spy-hops, tail splashes, and even mating behaviors.
They decided to skip a couple of rides and instead took a trip with Mau to San Ignacio town, which they loved. Before leaving, some of them suggested offering pre-planned alternative activities for guests who choose to skip whale-watching rides.
Some families with children have requested special meals, and Yahanna has been very accommodating. The guests are happy with the adjustments.
