During the course of our flights this year, we didn't just see right whales.
We saw many different types of animals, including schools of cownose rays, humpback whales, loggerhead sea turtles, ocean sunfish (a.k.a. Mola molas), pilot whales, manta rays, tons of dolphins (often these are with right whales), and just a few weeks ago a white shark.
