Our morning started with an incredible sunrise close to El Barril where we spotted our first grey whales while anchored! After breakfast, guests enjoyed kayaking and Zodiac cruises through incredible mangroves where we encountered all kinds of bird and marine life.

After lunch, National Geographic Sea Bird cruised through Hull Canal, or Canal la Soledad, towards Boca de Soledad. Once we anchored, we enjoyed our first whale watching outing aboard locally captained pangas.

Once all guests were back aboard, we welcomed Los Coyotes de Magdalena and Las Flores del Desierto. What a way to start our expedition!
