Blown Away by a Humpback Whale in Browning Pass

We were all “blown away” (pun intended) when the humpy surfaced 20ft away from the skiff after a 6 – 8 minute dive. Emily and Charlie were on the skiff with me and it was awesome to see their excitement. Having the kids onboard has made this an especially and exceptionally enjoyable trip for me.
